Mzansi demand Somizi and Mohale boxing match

In 2021 Mzansi saw one of its biggest relationship scandals between Somizi Mhlongo and his estranged husband Mohale Motaung.

Now, as the country has been whipped up into a boxing frenzy following the legendary boxing match between Cassper Nyovest and Slik Talk, tweeps think that fighting is the best way for issues to be resolved is with a fight. They are now pushing for Somizi and Mohale to get in the ring – no pun intended – and settle their issues “like men”.

When is Somizi vs Mohale boxing match planned?

The drama came shortly after the radio presenter accused Somizi of domestic violence. Speaking about their rocky marriage, Mohale said that Somizi has been physically abusive, and had also brought up some proclivities in the bedroom that he did not feel comfortable with, which further added the strain to their relationship.

However, even in the middle of the passive aggressive punches they have been throwing at each other, the two have kept away from each other entirely since their marriage disintegrated. They have managed to avoid each other in public, which we think has been for the best. After all, with the words that have been flying around, we can tell that it’s all ice there, and a public meeting would not go very well.

Social media users, however, think differently. They believe that the exact opposite is what is needed for them. As with Slik Talk and Cass, there is a lot of underlying disrespect between the two – you can tell from the shade they throw at each other – so perhaps fighting is a way for them to let out their pent up anger and frustration, and finally earn each other’s respect.

It is also possible that people just want to see Somizi fight. There was an interestingly large number of people rooting for Somizi to get in the ring, with anyone really. At first it was Cassper, then it was Lasizwe, then finally Mohale. We get the sense that people think he looks like he would be a surprisingly great boxer, and they are yearning for a chance for him to prove them right.

The two have been throwing shade at each other for the better part of the year. Earlier this year, when Somizi was asked about Mohale, he said he considered him “dead”. Like, Mohale ceased to exist for him, and to him, his former lover might as well be deceased. Ouch!

Hey you guys must not underestimate Somizi. Y'all aware he once played a very scary character called Crocodile on Sarafina? They didn't have to do much to make him look the part…so watch out?

Somizi has been minding his business, though. He stays booked and busy, and he has been on a birthday tour, having a marvelous time. Frankly, he deserves to spoil himself and have some fun after the busy year he has had. He is doing amazing, and we love to see it.

How and where Somizi and Mohale met

THE relationship of media personalities Somizi Mhlongo and Mohale Motaung has been scrutinised from the very moment they decided to make it public.

The pair, which got married in a multi-million-rand wedding which was aired on streaming service Showmax, has seen it all, from being told Mohale is to young for Somizi to Mohale being accused of being after Somizi’s estate.

Here’s a timeline of how the Mzansi much-loved fairytale, which ended in a divorce and abuse allegations, began:

1. How They Met

According to Idols SA judge Somizi and Rockville star Mohale, they met in 2017 at Somizi’s book signing after he released his best-selling memoir Dominoes: Unbreakable Spirit.

Recalling their first encounter last year, Somizi said he knew from the moment when he laid eyes on him that he was the one.

“You were number 13 in the line and by the time I signed your book, I knew I’d wanna be with you for a lifetime. Weird, I know but I knew,” he said.

1. Started Dating

After months of staying out of the spotlight, the pair officially announced their relationship at the Sun Met in 2018. Without wasting time, two months later they announced their engagement. This caused a stir and people accused the youngster Mohale of being after Somizi’s money, but Somizi who was deep in love slammed the claims.

“I’ve been quiet for way too long about how I feel about people who are not even our friends and family already assuming and dictating how my fiancé should love me and should react to certain things. All of you saying such; you don’t sleep next to me. You don’t wake up next to me. You don’t know how moody and cranky I become. You have never smelled my morning breath. Have you ever wondered why I was attracted to him in the first place.

“Have you ever thought how I would never date my duplicate. How we are completely different people and personalities. How his calm demeanour turns me on.”

He said he was older and wise enough to know when he was not truly loved.

1. The Wedding

The couple tied the knot in a lavish traditional wedding in September 2019 which was followed by a lavish white wedding in January 2020.

Somhale, as they were affectionately known, sold the rights to their wedding ceremonies to Showmax which was broadcasted in a four-part wedding special titled: Somizi & Mohale: The Union. They had plans for a third wedding in Italy but it was cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

But soon after their highly televised multi-million-rand wedding, rumours of cheating emerged.

According to a local publication, Mohale packed his bags and moved out of their marital home and discarded Somizi’s surname on his social media accounts. But Somizi squashed the rumours and told True Love magazine they had never split.

1. The Split

Although they had denied the divorce rumours, the love dedications and making public appearances together dried up and that raised the eyebrows of the fans who had been following the relationship.

It was only confirmed recently that Somhale had called it quits when a recording of Mohale, apparently with producers of Living the Dream with Somizi, was leaked.

In the recording Mohale can be heard speaking about the alleged abuse he had suffered at the hands of his estranged husband Somizi as well as how Somgaga had allegedly blocked opportunities for him to be independent.

1. The Acceptance

After months of denying they were headed for splitsvile, Somizi revealed in a lengthy statement that he and Mohale were in the process of being divorced.

“In as far as the divorce itself is concerned, my only aim is to have it finalised fairly and reasonably,” he said.

He also denied being abusive towards Mohale, but agreed their relationship had its ups and downs.

“But I have never been physically or knowingly emotionally abusive towards my estranged husband. I vehemently deny the allegations of criminal acts towards him and would like to clear my name of that defamation.”

Somizi said they had one altercation where he had allegedly defended himself from Mohale.

“What I am going to state, however, is that we had one altercation in which I had to defend myself and both of us were physically hurt by the other. I am at this stage not at liberty to dive deeper into the details but can state that he is not a victim in this situation,” read part of the statement.

Inside Somizi and Mohale Twitter war that got Mzansi talking

Somizi and Mohale have been making all sorts of headlines of late from daring divorce allegations to nasty Twitter wars.

The power couple has been rumoured to have gone separate ways on several occasions and they have come out to rubbish the rumours. Well in the backdrop of these daring allegations the two have found themselves trending again.

Somizi Mhlongo and Mohale‘s marriage has been placed under careful observation by social media users. Some wish they could end things but many are hoping the two reconcile.

Now, the current state of their marriage has not been officially addressed by the two. As many would expect looking at Somizi’s star power, a statement from the two would lay all this to rest. But, they just continue to add fuel to the fire. Be it for their own personal gains or perhaps they are teaching people how to mind their own businesses.

Whatever the case may be, social media users are having a field day with the couple and it is not a pretty sight to see. This barely comes a few days after Mohale opened up on not calculating his affair with Somizi.

Well in his recent interview Mohale got Mzansi talking. Mohale spilt the tea about his marriage with Somizi during an interview on Jacaranda FM with Mack Rapapali. The interview has since gone viral. In one of the key moments of the interview, Mohale had this to say.

“I wish I had better calculated my moves back then as compared to now – not that there are any regrets, but I just wish that I could have calculated everything that I did so that I could not find myself in a place that I was in.”

These enigmatic words have us confused as it was unclear whether he was is referring to his business, career or personal life.

Somizi and Mohale joins hands #RIPLULU

Somizi Mhlongo has decided to lead the pack in the fight against homophobia. The media personality is distraught over the recent killings of Nathaniel Mbele, known as Spokgoane, Andile Ntutela, who was known as Lulu and Sphamandla Khoza.

These three queer men were killed in the most violent ways and Mzansi is still grappling to understand, why. According to reports from various news sites, Spokgoane was stabbed multiple times on his chest. Lulu was said to have been butchered then set alight. The man who killed him buried his body parts in his home. Lastly, Sphamandla was stabbed then buried in a ditch.

They matter?️‍?, they were human just like me and you.? Who has the right to take another person's life simply because of their sexuality?? ?Homophobia is a serious issue in SA that the government needs to address honestly ??#JusticeForLulu #JusticeforSpha #RIPSpokgoane pic.twitter.com/GhsKAagCXF

Somizi joins the fight in protecting the rights of homosexuals and he has taken further steps by visiting the family of Andile Ntutela. He shared a picture of him in front of his home in Gqeberha and said he would be returning there on June 1, for the court hearing.

“Flew to Gqeberha this morning to give support to the family of the brutally murdered member of our LGBTIQ+ fam LULU…I’ll be back on the 1st June for the court hearing…#riplulu #ripspha #spokgoane #justiceforlulu,” he tweeted.

Somizi and Mohale’s marriage collapsed because of 22-year age difference, Mohale wanted money?

The union between Somizi Mhlongo and Mohale Motaung has gained so much attention from South Africans for different reasons. While some people are interested in knowing more about this couple and their relationship because they are of the LGBT side of things, others are interested because of the massive age difference between the two love birds.

Somizi and Mohale’s relationship has been in the news for so long. The couple has faced a lot of controversies, but that should not have surprised them. When a man gets married to a much older woman, tongues wag, talk more when this happens between people of the same sex in Africa. Even with all of these rumors, criticisms, and challenges, Somizi and his husband, Mohale, have remained a strong couple and do not seem to be breaking up any time soon – despite the rumors.

Somizi Mhlongo was born on 23rd December 1972 and is 48 years old. He is an actor, choreographer, radio presenter, and brand ambassador of so many brands. He was born into the home of Mary Twala and Walter Mhlongo, who were both entertainers. Somizi has not always been open with his sexual orientation; initially, he was even in a relationship with a woman with whom he had a daughter, while Mohale Motaung, on the other hand, had always been clear and open with his sexuality.

Mohale, who is 26 years old, was born on 9th July 1994. He is the founder and CEO of Glam Troupe and also a model and an actor.

Somizi is 22 years old older than his husband, Mohale, which has made many people doubt their love. Some fans believe that Mohale Motaung is only married to Somizi for the benefits he is getting. Also, considering that Somizi has a daughter almost the same age as Mohale, it is evident that he is old enough to be his father, which makes fans think it is rather awkward that they are a couple instead.

In response to these speculations regarding what people have to say about their age difference and why Mohale is married to him, the Idols SA judge came out to say that his partner, Mohale Motaung-Mhlongo, works for his money. Somgaga claims that not every person can handle him the way Mohale does, as he is quite a handful. He added that even if Mohale came for the money, he is not complaining.

Somizi Mhlongo has publicly stated his commitment to building a long-lasting marital relationship with Mohale Motaung and has steadfastly rejected the notion that they are not good together or breaking up. He once posted a video of a lady who didn’t want to lockdown with her sixty-year-old husband and said that is how he and his husband will look in 30 years. It means he is determined to grow old with Mohale Motaung despite the speculations which suggest otherwise.

Somizi and Mohale Had an Exquisite and Glamorous Wedding

The two love birds met at Somizi Mhlongo’s book launch in 2017; an event Somizi can still remember clearly. In a post on Instagram, Somizi narrated how Mohale was the 13th person on the line, waiting for him to sign on the book, and immediately he saw him, he knew he would want to spend forever with him.

Rumours About Somizi And Mohale Splitting Spread Again

Somizi and Mohale’s relationship has once again become a topic of discussion on Twitter. Tweeps recently dug up an old video where Somizi can be heard talking about Mohale’s cellphone addiction and the problems it caused for the couple.

The video started circulating on Twitter and tweeps have made their opinions on the matter clear. People have been discussing the video claiming that the couple may not last much longer.

A post shared by Somizi (@somizi)

Neither Somizi nor Mohale have commented or said anything regarding this matter. The two seem to be preoccupied with their recent projects. Mohale has been busy with charity work while Somizi has been promoting the launch of his sneaker line in collaboration with Bathu and recently joined a new business venture with Mercedes Benz.

Somizi addressed his ‘one-year relationship problems’ in an interview with Anele and The Club on 947. He spoke about different things such as life, love, marriage, failure, and more. The celebrity who has consistently been in the spotlight for his various achievements shared his views on marriage and failure with the team.

He spoke about how the couple is going through normal one-year relationship problems. He stated that even if his marriage failed, he would have succeeded in not staying in an unhappy place. Somizi knows who he is, and that is a fighter. His wise words touched the hearts of listeners and people expressed their agreement on Twitter.

Tweeps have always had a negative opinion of the couple making it clear that they believe the couple won’t last long. Rumors of them having marital issues spark up every now and then but the couple pays them no mind.

Recently, tweeps dragged Mohale for being ‘left behind’ as Somizi and Vusi Nova vacationed in Cape Town. Despite making it clear that Mohale was busy, the nasty comments did not stop.

Thus, it came as a surprise to no one when tweeps took to Twitter once again to make their thoughts on the couple known. The video was posted on Twitter and many fans expressed sympathy for Somizi stating that the love he has for Mohale exceeds the love Mohale has for Somizi.

The video talks about Somhale’s addiction to his phone and how it created a divide between the couple. Somizi said in the video, “It’s not even about me feeling neglected. I find it also to be too self-serving. If you are not on Instagram, or Twitter, or Facebook, you are taking pictures, you are taking selfies. I feel like, yoh, sometimes I wish to be touched like that phone.”

Somizi also stated that the couple had created a toxic environment for each other when they did not address the issue. Since this video found its way back on social media, Mohale and Somizi started trending on Twitter.

The video added fuel to the fire and started up rumors about trouble in paradise again. People either took Somizi’ side, sympathizing with him, or made memes out of the situation.
Some of the comments made were:

So Somizi and Mohale finna divorce because of a cellphone ???.
Kodwa we understand, some relationships ended because of R5 airtime ???? pic.twitter.com/u2RPTx2nU0

— Blessing?? (@Predator_rsa) February 15, 2021

I like that every time Somizi speaks about his relationship issues he not only puts the blame on his partner but also acknowledges his own short comings. He also seems willing to try fix whatever is wrong, his first instinct is not to give up & break up.

Somizi calls tweeps broke all the time but can't buy Mohales love with all that money

Whether the tweeps believe it or not, the couple has made it clear that they are still going strong and there is no issue they cannot get over together.

True love always triumphs over adversity!

Somizi Mhlongo and Mohale’s divorce story has taken over the internet since the weekend kicked off.

City Press reported that the marriage will be dissolved as Mohale was caught in a cheating scandal with a married man, who is friend with Som.
