FORMER SABC1 Uzalo actress and singer Thandeka Zulu is tired of rumours that she is engaged.
Reports over the weekend alleged that Thandeka was engaged and that the lucky guy was none other than her singing partner Sabelo Ngema.
Sabelo and Thandeka, both members of the group, Afro Soul, were said to be so inseparable that Sabelo saw fit to send his uncles to ask for her hand in marriage.
The grapevine has it that over the weekend Sabelo had gone to pay lobola. This was after he was seen at Thandeka’s home in Tongaat, outside Durban, in KZN.
Thandeka has rubbished the rumours and believes they stem from the fact that Sabelo was seen at her parent’s place in Tongaat over the weekend.
She said: “My family had a house-warming and Sabelo was invited as a guest. We have never dated.
“I don’t know how many times I have to say this. We are not dating. These rumours upset me because I treat him like a brother. I could never date him,” she said.
However, Sabelo though in agreement with Thandeka on the lobola issue, sings a different tune on them ever dating.
“Thandeka and I are no longer dating. Yes, we used to date but we separated because I am committed to my baby mama whom I’m planning to marry. Thandeka and I only have a working relationship,” he said.
