Users quickly gave their opinion on it and their relationship as a whole. Some fans noted how happy Madumane looked with Thuli, that he even reportedly bought her a Porsche.

Below are some of the hilarious reactions:

@Faith_vukosi14 laughed:

"It ended in tears 🤣."

@IhaveadreamSA said:

What happened between Thuli and Phori?

According to IOL, there were allegations of gender based violence (GBV) which resulted in Thuli opening an assault case against the muso. She later withdrew the charges at the Randburg Magistrate's Court, leaving legions of her fans disappointed.

They released a joint statement addressing the incident and some of the unsavoury remarks which were made about them.

A part of the statement read: "The matter has received mixed public attention, causing a great deal of emotional stress for both parties. It is on this basis that the parties have since elected to resolve this matter privately through their respective management and legal teams. Consequently, Phongolo has since withdrawn the charges laid against Sekowe at the SAPS, Sandton police station."

They threatened legal action against people who used this incident to push their own agendas and make defamatory remarks.

After their dramatic break-up, controversial blogger Musa Khawula alleged that they had gotten back together. But Thuli quickly put out the fire and stated that they were broken up.

“I’m not dating Phori; let that man live, man,” she said reacting to Khawula's post.
