Most likely, the death of her father was still raw in her mind. The good thing is that fans and the media respected her emotions and afforded her the space that she needed.
Mihlali got a tattoo to commemorate her father’s memory. The tattoo is a semi-colon, a symbol for all those impacted by suicide. She got this inked at the back of her ear.
She told fans that she was sharing this because she wants to give strength and solidarity to those who have experienced something similar.
Mihlali Ndamase’s mother is a fashion designer and both are understandably close to one another.
In recent times, Mihlali Ndamase has been selective with what she reveals about her love life. However, her recent posts may be hinting at a newly found love.
The YouTuber is allegedly dating a businessman named Kamo Phasha. The two are said to have gotten together in 2020 but nothing has been confirmed.
Previously, Mihlali Ndamase was rumoured to be dating one of the DJs of Major League, Banele Mbere.
When they were together, Banele Mbere claimed in an interview with Press Reader that he gave his supposed girlfriend a promising ring.
Mihlali Ndamase was also linked to world-famous formula one driver Lewis Hamilton. These rumours started after she attended the Singapore Grand Prix in 2019.

During her latest appearance on Lasizwe's Drink Or Tell The Truth show, the influencer also set the record straight on the rumours of her being a homewrecker.
Here's what she said: "Last time I checked, men are human beings, who are grown, who can make their own decisions. He is not a sack of potatoes, I have never stolen a man. I don't know how to steal. That's my answer."
Seems like Mihlali Ndamase is not afraid of saying just about anything. Whether she does it in the heat of the moment or otherwise, Mihlali has a razor-sharp tongue. Here’s a rundown of some of her controversies.
Mihlali was forced to explain her botched attempt to get lip fillers. In one of her YouTube videos, she admitted to having gone through the procedure. However, she got them dissolved after she received negative comments on her TikTok videos.
