For months now there have been rumours that Duduzane Zuma and Thuli Phongolo are dating. It is said that the two were spotted in several places in Dubai. “She’s Beautiful” Duduzane Zuma Speaks On His Relationship With Thuli Phongolo on an interview with Mac-G.
In the interview, Duduzane denied knowing Thuli, saying he is used to rumours being spread about him and that he has never met her.
Thuli set the record straight on Twitter after one user said Duduzane's denial of the pair's relationship in a recent interview with Mac-G was suspicious. The actress replied to the Twitter user, saying she has never met former president Jacob Zuma's son.
Rumours that the two were dating started making rounds on social media after Thuli apparently posted a now-deleted picture of a man who reportedly has the same tattoo as Duduzane.
Earlier this month, Thuli laughed off the rumours, saying she was now scared to post because people go as far as “investigating” tattoos.
“Sesisaba nokuposta ke manje ngoba ni-investigata nama-tattoo phela nina, iindaba zabantu nizazi ukundlula yezenu,” she said, which translates to “we are afraid of even posting now because you guys investigate tattoos and you know people's business better than you know yours!"
