Thuso Mbedu And Dj Sbu | Thuso Mbedu Dating

Recently in April 2019, the internet was filled with rumours that South African top actress, Thuso was dating radio station owner and entrepreneur, Dj Sbu.

ZAlebs posed the question of whether there was a possibility that there is love brewing between DJ Sbu and Thuso as there were nuances of romance in more than one picture on their respective Instagram pages, with Sbu giggling away in the background.

Thuso sent out a message via her manager, Vuyi Mpakanyiswa on the weekly magazine, Move!. The official word from her manager did not dispute the fact that Thuso and DJ Sbu did in actual fact, spend some time in Hollywood, she further stated that they simply went jet skiing together upon meeting each other that side.

Representing Thuso, Vuyi stated the following when speaking to Move! Magazine: “Thuso is not dating DJ Sbu. Thuso was in LA since January 2019. The pair went jet skiing together on her last day there.”

It seems Thuso was in America primarily for work purposes hence it was indicated that she had gone there to harness her multiple talents. Vuyi continued to add the following: “She went to work on her writing, accent training, and acting workshop.”

Denying a relationship is not a new sport within the entertainment industry. Therefore one could never know with these two, hence there seems to be strong evidence that spells a possible relationship.

Do y’all remember the time when our very own Bonang Matheba fiercely denied dating her ex, Kiernan Forbes, better known as AKA? Moghel even went as far as taking the legal route of threatening DJ Zinhle to publicly apologise to her before 5 pm. This was after DJ Zinhle had written a long and hearty post on her popular blog, Moments By DJ Zinhle, where she stated that AKA had actually confessed to being in a relationship with Bonang, from when she was five months pregnant with his child, Kairo Owethu Forbes. This was truly an ugly love triangle, but the truth about the state of AKA and Bonang’s relationship came out in the end.

As for Thuso and Sbu, only time will tell, as to whether there is love in the air or not.
