Confirming the news of the end of their relationship, a source told Sunday World that they have indeed split and infidelity allegedly played a role in this decision.
“He denied cheating on her with a woman who is said to be much older than her,” said the source.
Another source told the publication, “He cheated. One of the friends told me that, but I don’t believe it, he was too in love.”
Vuyo however, denied the break up when Sunday World pressed him.
The friend even told ZiMoja that when The Queen ended, Vuyo became 'miserable', “When the show came to an end, he was miserable...He is a good-looking oke, but looks don’t always count.”
“Once you’re on a big show like The Queen, it’s difficult to go and sit outside a casting room again and be called with the other 100 wannabes like you did when starting out.”
Vuyo was hurt when news of The Queen ending came out. He, like many of the cast members had no idea and those that did know protected the news with their all. What angered him more was the rumour that he got fired from the telenovela.
"The actor was fired because he lied about being sick when he was actually shooting another show. I knew that info but kept it private and post “contractual obligation”. How did reporting casting news become a hit on someone’s family? Haibo!"
Vuyo hit back and said, "That report was deliberate and malicious, please believe THAT, it is not the first time nor will it be the last, I hold myself to a very high standard with work and I have never compromised that, I appreciate the love since that post, please keep enjoying the work and God bless."
After seeing how sickly my aunt got from what many think is a “silly” story that I should get over, I only have one thing to sort out and I’m out of here, Twitter is not a place I wanna be at.

Lesedi said Phil had always had a hidden agend and this act was a deliberate attack on them.
"Let me get this right…because your ego got hurt, you decide that tarnishing another actor AND the production company’s reputation is the way to go? You of all people should know not to believe everything you’re told, yet you spread it anyway. A teaspoon of dithlong, Kgopolo."
