JOHANNESBURG – Are Amapiano’s most talked-about exes giving love a second chance? New reports suggest that DJ Maphorisa (Themba Sekowe) and Thuli Phongolo have officially rekindled their romance, nearly two years after a highly publicized and legal fallout that gripped the nation.
The pair were reportedly spotted in a series of intimate moments this week, signaling that the “turbulent” chapter of 2023 may finally be behind them.
The “Gusheshe” Connection
The spark was reignited on the set of Thuli Phongolo’s latest music video shoot in Johannesburg. According to insiders, Thuli personally reached out to the “Amapiano King” with a specific request: she wanted his iconic red BMW 325i (Gusheshe) to feature in the visuals.
Witnesses on set claim Maphorisa didn’t think twice. He reportedly dropped his schedule to deliver the car personally, staying for the duration of the shoot to support Thuli.
“It was so cool to see that side of Maphorisa. Thuli kept telling us she was glad he came and that they were secretly back together,” a source revealed to Sunday World.
From Courtrooms to Chemistry
The reunion marks a massive turnaround from May 2023, when a domestic dispute in Sandton led to Maphorisa’s arrest on assault allegations. While the charges were eventually withdrawn and the pair released a joint statement regarding an amicable resolution, they had largely kept their distance in the public eye—until now.
Key Details of the Reported Reunion
- Intimate Moments: On-set sources described the pair sharing hugs and a “peck on the lips,” suggesting the relationship is far more than just professional.
- Secret Support: Maphorisa reportedly waited patiently outside the venue while Thuli filmed, a gesture fans are calling a “soft launch” of their return as a couple.
- Private Healing: Sources close to the stars say they have been quietly working on their connection away from social media scrutiny to avoid “unnecessary drama.”
Neither Maphorisa nor Thuli has officially confirmed the reunion on their social media platforms, but the presence of the famous red Gusheshe might be all the proof fans need.
