In response to rumours of a “new bae”, South African reality TV star Vuyokazi Nciweni cleared the air by insisting she does not even know the gentleman in question.
VUYOKAZI NCIWENI DISMISSES ROMANCE RUMOURS
In a video posted in the early hours of 17 July, Vuyokazi explained that people had taken the video of her cosying up with a man known as Thendo Zonzo out of context.
The video went viral on social media, sparking a frenzy with many side-eyeing Vuyokazi’s “new man”.
The mother of two said that she went out for a fun night out while in Pretoria and, in her tipsy state, ended up kissing Thendo Zonzo.
However, she emphasised that she didn’t even know him and they are not in a relationship. Speaking about the situation, Vuyokazi said:
“I just want to say this: I’m currently in Pretoria for work. I happened to go to the groove one night, [and] I got intoxicated.
She added “I met this guy [and] we vibed. I don’t know who Zonzo is. I don’t even follow him, and I don’t know who he is.”
VUYOKAZI IS PICKING UP THE PIECES
The lovely Vuyokazi was introduced to the world as Mpumelelo Mseleku’s girlfriend on Uthando Nes’thembu.
The former couple experienced many ups and downs before their relationship ended. They are now co-parenting their two adorable children, Mhlophekazi and Nzulu.
After the breakup, Vuyokazi embarked on a complete body transformation, working with cosmetic surgeons in Turkey.
In May 2026, she moved into her stunning apartment in Cape Town, and in June 2026, she celebrated her graduation from the University of South Africa (UNISA) bagging an impressive eleven distinctions.
