What happened between Lasizwe and Langa Mavuso?

In March 2025, Lasizwe dropped a bomb about his relationship with Langa Mavuso. The star, who has been on several dates with celebrities like Minnie Dlamini, Khanyi Mbau, Toss, Mihlali Ndamase, Faith Nketsi and Linda Mtoba on his show Awkward Dates, revealed why Langa's episode never saw the light of day.

The two are powerhouses in the SA entertainment industry. Lasizwe has been dominating the content creation industry for years, while Langa recently celebrated seven years in the music industry.

Speaking in a video clip shared on X by a user with the handle @6uhle, Lasizwe said Langa was extremely late to the show, but the production team brushed it off. When he finally arrived, the singer went off script and instead of pretending like they never knew each other he kept referencing their past encounters.

Lasizwe bags partnership with RocoMamas

In January 2025, Lasizwe bagged another deal for his YouTube show Awkward Dates after reaching 1 million subscribers.

The reality TV star recently announced on social media that he had partnered with RocoMamas for his hit show. He also explained his main reason for choosing to partner with the restaurant with Daily Sun.

He said:

"What made me partner with RocoMamas is their over 90 stores across South Africa. I want my audience to experience the same meals featured on the show and make it a norm to enjoy a date with family, friends or a potential partner.

"Previously, our partnered restaurant was only based in Joburg, but we realised that our viewers are from Limpopo, KZN, Cape Town, and beyond. With RocoMamas, we can now be more relatable and accessible. As a content creator, bridging the gap between the food and entertainment industries has always been difficult, especially for restaurants."
