Bernard and Nandi Kiss on 7de Laan and the Racists Come Out of their Closets
Last night on 7de laan the inevitable happened. Bernard and Nandi kissed!
We saw it coming a mile away of course. Sifiso, however, got in the way for a while to slow things down.
And while we saw Bernard’s feelings grow, we didn’t see much interest from Nandi’s side. Well, other than for Sifiso.
But after work on Monday’s episode, Nandi and Bernard had pizza together and finally, finally the moment presented itself for the kiss.
No sooner had the two ended the kiss when Sifiso walked in. Damn fool!

I’m living overseas for the next few months and catching up on YouTube, so wasn’t aware there was any controversy surrounding the pairing. It’s actually embarrassing going on social media and seeing how really silly a small section of our population can be. And even worse seeing it from a distance.
Personally, I’ve seen interracial couples amongst my family, friends and colleagues and of course on tv. To be honest, I haven’t even looked at Nandi as being black and Bernard white. Even though that’s a part of who they are. They seem very equally matched. Beautiful, smart and from well to do families.
To me they are just two young people who’ve met and are falling for each other.
So it’s very strange to see people commenting on this website and on social media complaining about the couple. Especially when the complaints are only based on their race.
I had no idea there are people who still think the world (and 7de laan) should stand still for them. In actual fact, I think that in the last year or so, 7de laan have finally made their stories relevant by acknowledging the South Africa we now live in. Not the fantasy where everyone lives happily together, but never date or marry across the colour line.
I’m glad I live in a world where Bernard and Nandi and can meet date, get married and have beautiful babies if they choose. Instead of the closed off world where some of the 7de laan viewers reside. I can’t even imagine living in such a claustrophobic, repressed space.
There is NOOOO way 7de laan can tailor their stories to the racist few. If they even tried, they would lose this viewer for sure!
My father who is a Pedi,married a Dutch lady.Sure,race is something that’s impossible to ignore because it’s the first noticeable thing.However,the main thing is their undying love for each other.From watching my father and their close friends,interracial marriage is a normal life.
Yeah we’re different,but surely I’m not high to point out that we live under the same sky,breathe the same air which happens to be oxygen.My point is,this is a free society,and everyone should do as they see fit.Provided it doesn’t make others’ lives intolerable.And I don’t see how mixed relationships can in any way trigger that. At least it doesn’t make mine intolerable.
Wat gaan aan met 7de Laan? Ek weet ek is nie die enigste een wat ongelukkig is met die wit en swart partye wat gemeenskaplike interaksies het. Dis totaal en al onanvaarbaar! Dit word net erger en erger. 7de Laan is nie meer wat dit was nie. Ek kyk graag eerder Binnelanders. Ondersteun graag dié eerder omdat dit die afrikaanse mense in ag neem voordat daar irrasionale aksies uitgevoer word wat on van pas is volgens ons waardes.
Wat se waardes het julle. Rasisties dis wat julle is. Julle is met niks tevrede in die lewe. Kak en kerm oor alles.
Hoe werk julle elke dag met ander rasse. Elke dag het ons met verskillende ras groepe te doen. Hulle werk met ons, hulle bedoen ons. Hulle werk vir ons. Hoe verduidelik jy jouself. Loop julle met glas skerms om julle elke dag sodat ander nie aan julle kan raak.
You are pathetic. Niemand se jy moet n ander kleurige soen. Dis seker jou keuse.
So wake up and get a like. God Bless
I am in an interracial relationship- Im white and he is indian. It took some of the older RACIST people a while to get used to us but theyve had to learn to accept it. 7de laan is MOVING FORWARD with times and Im proud of them for doing so. To all the small minded racists who cant handle it, please crawl back into the 18th century where you belong, we dont want you here anyways.
Hoe is dit onanvaarabaar.? I seriously do not see anything wrong with the role nor scene that is played by Nandi en Bernard. Jy kan maar Binnelanders kyk. Ons kyk 7de laan en ons hou van wat nou besig is om te gebeur. Dit leer ons om mekaar lief te he vir wie ons is tenspyte van ons velkleur. Ek self is n swart dame wat al met n kleuring ou gedate. Alhoewel dit moeilik was vir ons familie om te aanvaar het dit ons nie gekeer om gelukkig te wees nje. This is mere acting.. waaroor gaan almal aan? In Scandal sien ons hoe Thembeka en Quinton getrou het… daar is so baie voorbeelde mense…
Ek ken die hartseer van racism. Dit het net gebeur
Ons het nie daarvoor gesoek nie.
Nandi and Bernard’s relationship actually drew my attention to 7de Laan. I dearly love series or soapies that have interracial relationships or partnerships. It is the 21st century, interracial seems very normal to me.
I love Nandi and Bernard together!! I feel they are meant to be, even the way they met. I felt the connection from the start #Bernandi #7deelaan
