Nandi Mngoma thanks her boo for the overwhelming support

Johannesburg- The highly-anticipated debut of Mzansi Magic's telenovela The Road takes place tonight. 

And, like us, lead actress Nandi Mngoma can't wait for fans to see the finished product. 

Ahead of tonight's premiere Nandi took to Instagram to thank Zakes for being super supportive of her latest role. 

Even though Nandi didn't name Zakes, it's kind of an open secret that they're a couple. 

The actress revealed that Zakes bought every single Sunday newspaper that she was in yesterday, and has been helping her rehearse lines. 

Aww man...that's so sweet! 

We can't wait to watch Nandi and the rest of the cast in action tonight at 7.30pm on Mzansi Magic (Dstv 161). 

My partner is so sweet, he couldn't contain his excitement for the new show I'm apart of #TheRoad so he bought every Sunday paper that had me in it yesterday. I'm blessed to have such a supportive partner in my life. He also has been helping me rehearse my lines when he's around. It's been such a fun experience. ?????? #TheRoad #31August #Tonight
