Former Izingane Zes’thembu star Vuyokazi Nciweni appears to have turned the page on her highly publicised relationship with Mpumelelo Mseleku after being spotted getting cosy with flamboyant socialite Thendo Zonzo during a lavish night out in Johannesburg.
The pair had tongues wagging after arriving together at Rich Diamond nightclub in Maboneng, where Zonzo hosted a night out with close friends. Witnesses at the venue said the businessman was in high spirits, splurging on premium bottles and entertaining his inner circle while keeping Vuyokazi close by throughout the evening.
“They looked very comfortable together and were inseparable the whole night,” said an onlooker. “Everyone could see there was something going on between them.”
Vuyokazi first became a household name through Izingane Zes’thembu, where viewers followed her turbulent romance with Mpumelelo, the son of renowned polygamist Musa Mseleku. Their relationship was filled with emotional confrontations, family tensions and public scrutiny before eventually coming to an end.
Following the split, many fans rallied behind Vuyokazi, believing she deserved a fresh start. Since walking away from the relationship, she has undergone a remarkable glow-up, reinventing herself with a polished image, growing social media following and renewed confidence. Her stylish fashion sense, glamorous appearances and focus on herself have earned her praise from supporters who say she has been “glowing differently” since leaving the reality TV drama behind.
Meanwhile, Mpumelelo has remained in the spotlight because of his complicated love life, while Vuyokazi has largely kept her romantic affairs out of the public eye, until now.
Zonzo is no stranger to Johannesburg’s nightlife scene, where he is known for his extravagant lifestyle, luxury cars and generous spending at high-end entertainment venues. His appearance alongside Vuyokazi has sparked speculation that the two may be more than just friends.
