Episode one of Faith Nketsi's reality show Have Faith   aired on Monday night. 

"Since the last time you saw me I have been adjusting to being a new mother, being a wife.  I moved out of my marital home," she says at the start of the show. 

The reality star's mother asked Faith for clarity on why she was back home. 

"What was collapsing, my whole marriage was collapsing right in front of my eyes," she said in her video diary.

Without saying much Faith told her mom she knew what was happening at Hyde Park (their marital home): "I think at some point we all know I was going to leave the house and come back here.

"It is such an embarrassing situation, I'm embarrassed for my soul," she said

Faith also told her mom she felt if she stayed in the marriage, she would end up in a mental institution.

"We need this time apart for me to make my decision," she said, adding that going to therapy works because she felt heard. 

The episode ends with the reality star visiting a lawyer to ask about divorce proceedings.

X was buzzing with those who were shocked the couple were seemingly heading for a divorce. 

"I genuinely was rooting for Njilo and Faith Nkentsi. I hope they are not toying with our emotions just to get more views for the show but at the same time I don't want the divorce to happen," said one.

"I’m so sad for Faith. Especially when she said that she feels so embarrassed about her marriage not working out," wrote another. 

On April 10 2022 Faith and Nzuzo Njilo, who have a daughter together, made things official by hosting a mahlabiso ceremony (joining the two families/a celebration of marriage).

Marking the milestone, the social media sensation and reality TV star posted on Twitter: "Last year today I became Umakoti wakwa Njilo."
