South African rapper and TV personality Nomuzi "Moozlie" Mabena spoke about healing from her last relationship.
The self-proclaimed New-age Mabrr, which is a name Moozlie adopted to honour the late Brenda Fassie, was in a long-term relationship with talent manager Sbusiso Mbambo, aka Sbudaroc.
According to reports, Mbambo is the son of Brenda Fassie's ex-husband, Nhlanhla Mbambo, and stepson of Chicco Twala. He was Moozlie's manager from 2014 and played a key role in the growth of her brand.
The once-power couple's eight-year relationship ended in tears in 2023 after an alleged cheating scandal, though it should be noted that the allegation was never confirmed.
Speaking on the Relebogile Mabotja Podcast on 29 August 2025 about the public breakup, Mabena said the decision to leave had been building up for some time.
"When it comes to making the actual decision, you'd think it happens on this grand occasion after a big misunderstanding or a fight, but it just happens on a day when you're just like, 'This is the end.'
"I can't remember exactly what the thing is, but you just get to a point. It's not even about being at your wits' end, because when you've been in situations where you've stayed, you go past that. But you realise that it's time to make the move."

Moozlie went on to allude to her and Sbudaroc's drama-free split, reflecting on their shared plans and the life they shared.
Post-breakup, the rapper revealed that she moved out of their home to live with her sister, where she finally allowed herself to feel her emotions until she finally healed.
