South African DJs and power couple, DJ Zinhle and Murdah Bongz, recently enjoyed some quiet time together in a new video.

The pair gave followers a glimpse of how they spend quality time by enjoying a relaxing time together in their backyard, away from the noise.

Taking to her Instagram page on Tuesday, 28 October 2025, Zinhle shared a video of herself sitting on her hubby's lap, embracing as their song, Woza, played in the background.

The song is a passionate celebration of love, with the title, which means "come," emphasising Zinhle and Bongz's desire for absolute closeness, leaving no space between them. This theme is perfectly mirrored in the video, where they are seen embracing and enjoying the comfort of their intimacy.

Reshared by MDNnewss, the video was watched over 100,000 times and garnered hundreds of spicy comments, and they did not hold back on the criticism.

Murdah Bongz trolled after Con Court ruling

In an earlier report, Briefly News shared online reactions to the Constitutional Court's ruling allowing men to take their wives' surnames.

Murdah Bongz was savagely roasted online, with trolls saying he would soon be taking DJ Zinhle's last name.

This was due to the DJ's kindhearted nature and modern approach to building a blended family with his wife, which many South African men have labelled as "simp" behaviour and "performative."
