HOW IT ALL BEGAN

Another close friend says they started as buddies. "In the beginning, there was nothing really. They were just friends. I think there is a slight age difference, with Mbali being older.,' she says. "Mbali didn't see herself ever dating him. She has always been with slightly older guys but the heart wants what it wants.' The close friend says the two have been dating since last year. "Well, we only got to know of the relationship in 2022. They even attended the SAMAs in August 022 together, I don't think anyone noticed.'
