Family and Relationships 

Lasizwe’s mother was Lindiwe Dambuza. She died in 2016. She was a 40-year-old nurse at Lesedi Private Hospital. His mother was in a relationship with his father, Menzi Mcunu. His father also passed away in 2020. But there are many ready to provide Lasizwe with the emotional support he needs, including his sisters and Lasizwe’s other parents.

Along with his mother, Lasizwe’s sister, Zonke Nkabinde, played a significant role in his life. She would guide and protect him from others. Lasizwe noticed that he felt uncomfortable around boys from an early age,  but he could relate to feminine topics comfortably. Around the age of 15, he realized he was gay. Since then, he’s been called out for some of his ‘thirsty’ comments. Lasizwe has also courted controversy for allegedly being homophobic. Talk about irony. 

Who is Lasizwe Dambuza’s Father?

Lasizwe Dambuza’s father was Menzi Mcunu. Many wrongly confuse him with a celebrity entrepreneur who shares the same name. His father attended Ohlanga High School and had informal training in art at the Community Arts Workshop in Durban. In 1987, he was awarded a bursary by the Daily News to study Fine Art at the Technikon Natal. In 1985, he showcased his exhibition at the NSA Gallery.

In 1990, he went to the Institute of Contemporary Art in London to participate in the Zabalaza Festival, which consisted of giant murals which depicted gorgeous scenes from our SA villages and townships. 

In 1991, he painted a mural at Hebox, Hammarsdale and another one for Gadaleni High School, Isandlwana. He painted a mural for Ilanga in the following year. 

He has had exhibitions in both public and private collections in SA. Talk about a talented family.

He passed away in 2020. Both his children announced his passing to their fans, and the funeral was covered by the media.

Who are the Lasizwe siblings?

Lasizwe’s sisters are Khanyi Mbau and Shantel Mcunu. Khanyi Mbau is a famous South African actress, television host and artist. She started gaining fame in 2004 after playing her role as Mbali in a SABC 1 soap opera. Lasizwe has another sister named Shantel Mcunu. 

Who is Lasizwe’s Wife?

Although famously gay, Lasizwe had taken to social media to show off a woman he dubbed as his ‘future wife’. He went as far as to say he would have a baby with her. The post left many of his fans wondering whether he’s switched his sexuality. We’re assuming he hasn’t though, and that the celeb was just expressing his love for a dear friend.

Is Buhlebendalo Lasizwe's Child?

Lasizwe claimed on social media that Buhlebendalo Lehumo Mcunu is his child. This adorable baby is, in fact, his nephew. But it would seem that Lasizwe has decided to be a father figure in his life. He posted a sweet picture on Instagram with the caption, “From the day you were born, I committed to being a father in your life. Today we celebrate you turning the BIG 1. Happy Birthday my daughter @buhlebendalo.sa I love you.”

This announcement left many shocked and wondering who Lasizwe’s baby mama was. But Khanyi Mbau revealed that the baby belonged to their other sister Shantel, a single mother. Maybe that’s why Lasizwe has decided to step up and be a father in this lovely baby girl’s life.

Who is Lasizwe’s Boyfriend?

It was thought that Lasizwe’s boyfriend was actor Cedric Fourie. Lasizwe sparked the rumours with suggestive pictures but he came out and stated that they were just good friends. However, the two have now gone separate ways and are not on speaking terms. Lasizwe is even on record stating that he doesn’t want to work with Cedric again. Cedric is reportedly dating Ugandan socialite Zari Hassan.
