The entertainer, who is also known as SomGaga, is like the best friend you didn’t know you needed.
He is fun-loving, caring and has a crazy personality that will make you laugh for days.
Somizi has likened himself to Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston.
He certainly has the star power! Despite his infectious smile, Somizi’s life has been anything but perfect.
Well, Somizi is a married man now and let’s just say this was the wedding of weddings and one for the books. Somizi and Mohale tied the knot and they spared no expense to making their day special. This one definitely got ticked off on the ‘best wedding of the year’ list.
Here’s a look at Somizi Mhlongo’s biography.
Somizi Arrested
However, Minister Fikile Mbalula came out to deny the claims that were being made by Somizi. He stated that he hadn’t talked to Somizi at any point in time and he didn’t inform him of any extension of the lockdown.
So where did Somizi get the news?
Although, Somizi later on apologised for his actions and the Minister accepted his apology, he still had to face the music. The department of transport announced that Mbalula would take legal action against Somizi. Fikile Mbalula will make his way to the Sandton Police Station to lay charges against the personality for contravening the government lockdown regulations, which prohibits the spread of fake news.
Somizi handed himself over to the police and he was arrested, but was later on released on bail pending a court appearance.
The law really does not take kindly to information peddling and anyone found on its wrong side has to face the consequences.

Somizi Marriage
Somizi has revealed very few details about his big day but it is expected to be the wedding of the year.

Somizi White Wedding
The couple spared no expense in order to throw the most extravagant wedding that South Africa has ever seen. From the decor to the oufits that the A list celebs who attended cam e dazzled in, the couple had strict rules when it came to how they wanted their day to go. It was all an all white wedding and people had to put on their best red bottoms.
One would notice that during the wedding, there really wasn’t any social media update taking place and this is because the couple had told guests no phones were allowed at the wedding. That may sound strange, but they had a surprise instore for them. Because the venue was so beautiful and one couldn’t leave without taking pics, here’s what Somhale did.
One of the other key reasons behind Somizi’s reason was to preserve the privacy of their big day until the wedding aired on Showmax.
As if Mzansi has not seen enough, Somizi and Mohale had just announced that they are going to have another wedding in Italy where it all began. Fans were told to get their Louis Vuitton masks ready, but due to the outbreak of the COVID 19 virus, the couple has decided to cancel the wedding for now. Though they are not going to Italy anymore, they are still scouting for another venue.
Somizi Showmax
Thanks to Showmax, the show has become the most watched TV Special in Mzansi. According to Showmax, Somizi and Mohale: The Union has taken the crown as the show with the most views ever on its first day on the streaming service, bigger than any Hollywood blockbuster show.

Somizi Girlfriends
Before coming out as gay, Somizi dated women and had a few girlfriends. One of his girlfriends was actress Palesa Madisakwane.
Somizi Baby Mamas
“When Bahumi’s mother came to me and said ‘I am attracted to you’, I told her I’m bisexual. I didn’t say I am straight, I didn’t say no. I told her I have a boyfriend. And she said ‘oh okay, if you are bisexual, it means you date both sexes?’, and I said yes because at the time I thought I was bisexual,” he told Kaya FM.
When Palesa found out she was pregnant, Somizi told her he would “forever be a father and a daddy to our child” but could no longer stay in the relationship as he realised he is not bisexual but gay. Despite the end of their relationship, he was excited to be a father.
“I wanted to have a child because I felt like that’s part of my purpose on earth,” he said on The Close Up.
Somizi Breakups
Somizi proposed during a romantic trip to Paris in 2018.
“Yes, I did. [It was] on the ‘love lock’ bridge with the Eiffel Tower behind us. I’ve watched too many movies obviously,” he said.
In early 2019, rumours spread like wildfire that Somizi and Mohale had broken up. The lovers have unfollowed each other on Instagram. Their lovers’ quarrel was over in no time and the pair started posting pictures of each other together again.
Somizi Rumours
“He’s already secured the bridge venue, as he’s set to host many guests, so he needs as much space as he can possibly get. Also, he wants his wedding to be the talk of the town,” a mole told the publication.
The rumours turned out to be false. Easter came and went with no wedding in sight.
Somizi Controversy
“I went SARS offices and they nailed me. I sobbed in front of them. I was crying bucketloads… They were going to take my car. I told them the car wasn’t mine. They forced me to sell my house. I tried to stall that and find ways of getting out of the mess without shedding my house. It was tough,” Somizi wrote in his book, Dominoes: Unbreakable Spirit.
In 2018, the SA Revenue Service (SARS) reportedly auctioned off some of his belongings including designer bags, a crocodile skin couch and more than 80 pairs of designer sunglasses.
While Somizi is can afford to fly to Paris, Milan and New York for expensive shopping sprees, he was broke, indebted and depressed between 2006 and 2009.
“It was difficult to the point that I cried every day. At night I felt better that the day was over and I hoped for a better day tomorrow. But when I woke up and realised that I was still in that, I’d cry all over again. I started ostracizing myself,” he wrote in his book.
The end of his friendship with South Africa’s media darling Bonang Matheba also caused controversy. Their friendship ended in late 2015 but they put their differences aside in 2018 and are back to being BFFs.
