I guess I can't hide it anymore." She goes on to say they started seeing each other about a month ago. "I have known him for about a year.

HIS JOB

After a few years in prison for fraud and culpable homicide and laying low following his release, Mandla made his return to the limelight attempting to sell shares using personalities Somizi Mhlongo and Zanele Mbokazi through his company Agilitee SA. The failed attempt saw him go back to his cocoon when he had his belongings allegedly repossessed. Ten electric scooters, two helmets, four office chairs and a reception desk went on auction after he failed to pay R759 000 debt. He however denied that any of his assets were put up on auction. 

Sibongokuhle, on the other hand,  is a two-time award-winning actress, and model who has also appeared on Uzalo among other TV shows. She started her career in theatre after graduating in 2021 and landed her biggest role on Durban Gen. She then moved on to play another prominent role on Valley of a Thousand Hills, which is a Netflix production.
