Thuli’s Rocky Romance History
The rumors follow Phongolo’s tumultuous split from DJ Maphorisa in 2023, when she accused him of gender-based violence (charges were later reportedly withdrawn). Despite speculation of a reconciliation—including claims he gifted her a G-Wagon—Phongolo has repeatedly denied they’re back together, tweeting last year:
“I’m not dating Phori, let that man live.”
Social Media Reacts
While some fans cheered the alleged new relationship, others questioned Khawula’s credibility, given his history of unverified claims.
