😭HE SAID WHAT?! Mihlali Ndamase’s Man DENIES Her PUBLICLY—“I’m Single Abeg” Shocks Mzansi! 💔🚨

Just when fans were getting comfortable shipping Mihlali Ndamase and her 23-year-old entrepreneur bae as the next “Mzansi power couple,” the fantasy has come crashing down harder than a Twitter cancellation.

In a now-viral clip making the rounds across TikTok, Twitter (X), and Instagram, the same man believed to be Mihlali’s Dubai companion was caught on camera during a casual Instagram Live session, boldly declaring: “I’m single abeg.

I don’t know what y’all are talking about.

The internet did not take it well.

This moment, both shocking and surreal, has sparked a tsunami of reactions from fans, critics, and fellow influencers.

Many are calling it a public betrayal, especially after Mihlali all but confirmed their romance with cryptic captions, cozy vacation footage, and even her mother’s supposed stamp of approval.

To now hear the man she was proudly flaunting say he’s single—with a laugh—has left fans stunned, heartbroken, and outraged.

Social media lit up within minutes.

One fan posted: “After the Dubai trip? The soft life flex? The matching outfits? The mother’s approval? Only for him to say he’s single? Nah this is a violation.

” Another wrote: “The way men will embarrass you… and you paid for his champagne?!”

The mysterious man—allegedly 23-year-old Lwandile “Lwa” Mthembu, although he hasn’t been officially named in connection to Mihlali—has not responded further since the viral moment, but his words have already sparked massive backlash.

Memes are flying, YouTube reactors are dropping videos, and TikTokers are dissecting the clip frame-by-frame, trying to decode whether he was joking, trying to save face, or genuinely denying the relationship.

Meanwhile, Mihlali Ndamase has gone quiet.

No response.

No clapback.

No cryptic quote stories.

Just silence.

Her last Instagram post, showing her living her best life in a luxury setting, is now filled with comments like “Queen, blink twice if you need a hug,” “Dump him sis,” and “He said what?!” The silence is only fuelling more speculation—and sympathy.

Some fans believe the denial could be part of a larger clout-chasing game, suggesting the guy is simply trying to maintain a “single” image for his own brand or fanbase.

Others believe the relationship may have already ended privately, and the public just didn’t catch on until this viral bombshell.

But for many, the fact remains: publicly humiliating a woman—especially one as high-profile as Mihlali—is a dangerous game.

Even local celebs and influencers have weighed in.

One anonymous source in the beauty influencer circle said, “This isn’t just a breakup.

It’s a public PR disaster.

You don’t deny a woman like Mihlali.

It makes you look weak, not single.

What’s even more heartbreaking for fans is how deeply invested people were in this relationship.

Mihlali, who’s been through her fair share of public relationship chaos in the past, seemed like she had finally found someone who understood her lifestyle, matched her energy, and respected her brand.

The Dubai vacation, the low-key soft-launch, the “he gets the stamp” story—all of it now feels like a giant setup.

Others are using the moment to highlight a brutal truth about public relationships in the influencer era: you never know what’s real.

Behind the filters, the baecation reels, and the designer labels could be a man who isn’t even claiming you—until it’s trending.

Still, many of Mihlali’s fans are standing behind her, with messages of support flooding her platforms.

“You’re the brand, the moment, and the money.

Let him be single.

You’ll always be THAT GIRL,” one fan wrote.

Others encouraged her to stay unbothered and focus on her bag rather than respond to a man who clearly isn’t worth her energy.

So where does it go from here?

As of now, the relationship’s fate is unclear.

Will Mihlali come forward and address the clip? Will she confirm the breakup—or worse, act like it never happened? And will this young “entrepreneur” realize that playing games with South Africa’s baddest influencer comes with real consequences?

What we know is this: Mzansi is watching, the screenshots are forever, and one viral denial has officially turned one of SA’s hottest “couples” into a cautionary tale.

In the meantime, all we can do is wait for Mihlali’s next move.

And if history is anything to go by… she always bounces back harder, richer, and ten times more fabulous.
