Mzansi’s favourite choreographer Somizi Mhlongo has been out of the dating game for a while now, at least in public, even though he has been suspected of having a secret relationship. As it turns out, he may indeed be in a secret relationship, but not with who everybody thought.
The actor recently shared a nude picture of himself that set the internet ablaze. Social media users immediately scrambled to make memes from the image, and some of them were really creative and funny, particularly that one depicting “Sarafina 2”. Have a look at it.
But as many were having fun with the image, some noticed that the photographer was Vusi Nova. Now while the two have been best friends for a long time, and everyone knows it, they have always been suspected of being in a secret relationship.
The fact that Vusi took a nude picture of Somizi seemed to fuel the rumours that they were together, as everyone wondered what level of “friendship” it takes to see each other completely naked.
But now, as entertainment blogger Musa Khawula reports, the actor is allegedly dating Lindile Mbadu. According to Musa, the two were seen kissing at Ayepyep Lifestyle Lounge during new year celebrations, and have further been rumoured to be staying in the same villa in Llandudno, where the celebrity chef is now vacationing.
However, the news has been met with a lot of skepticism on social media. Many feel that it has to be wrong, as they are convinced that Somizi is with Vusi.
Other critics feel that Somizi is once again looking for an unknown and possibly poor partner to “elevate”. They think he is preying on young, broke men. On the other hand, Lindile who is largely unknown, has already been accused of being with Somizi because of his money, especially since the villa they are allegedly staying at charges R55K per night.
Somizi’s money has made him a target for men who want to get famous, according to his followers. What Lindile is being accused of is exactly what Somizi’s estranged husband Mohale Motaung has been accused of multiple times. Fans think that he used Somizi for his money and fame, and that he left as soon as he got in the limelight as he always wanted.
Despite all the rumours and backlash, Somizi seems to be having a fabulous time on his Western Cape trip. He has been sharing videos of himself dancing and having fun, as his fans know and love him for.
The new year is shaping up to be pretty interesting for him, as he has already topped trends multiple times in just four days. He is yet to give a comment on his rumoured relationship, but we wish him the best either way. And he really needs to look into that Sarafina 2!
