MK Party’s Nhlamulo Ndlela sets the record straight on rumours he’s dating Duduzile Zuma
“I’m not dating Duduzile Zuma and we are just close to each other and my relationship with her goes back to our days in Mozambique.”
So said MK Party spokesperson Nhlamulo Ndhlela after allegations that he is romantically involved with Duduzile.
A source close to the couple suggested they are in a romantic relationship and it has been happening “for a while”.

“These two are dating and their relationship can be confused by their proximity in the party. To us in the MK, we know their relationship is beyond work and it is clear they are an item,” said the source.
Another source said: “They are keeping their relationship under [the] carpet as they don’t want to attract attention from the party, but everyone can see these two are an item.”
Speaking to the publication, Nhlamulo denied the claims about the two.
“They are trying to drive a certain narrative that we are dating. She attends every event with her boyfriend, haven’t you seen Dudu’s boyfriend? It’s clear people want to know. We know each other from as far back to the [19]80s with the Zuma family. So, she’s a sister to me including other sisters and brothers.
“We are close due to the work we do in this organisation. That’s all I can tell you.”
Duduzile was previously married to Lonwabo Sambudla in 2011 before they separated in 2017.
Despite numerous attempts by TshisaLIVE‚ Duduzile could not be reached for comment at the time of publishing this article.
