Mzansi’s favourite Love Island South Africa winners have sent the internet into absolute overdrive, but it is not the romantic reunion fans were hoping for. Four years after their highly publicised 2022 breakup, Thimna Shooto has aggressively shut down claims that she and her ex-boyfriend Libho Geza are back together, accusing him of manipulating content for clout.

The chaos erupted on 6 July 2026, when Libho posted a short video alongside his Buff & Shine Podcast co-host Bheki Ndamase and a surprise guest - Thimna.

However, a furious Thimna quickly took to her own TikTok page to set the record straight using the popular "put a finger down" format.

She explained that she merely bumped into Bheki while out, and despite being acquaintances, he was hesitant to interact with her because he is now best friends with her ex. Trying to ease the tension, Thimna told him "it’s not that deep" and decided to be friendly and cordial.

The Love Island South Africa star ended up spending the rest of the outing with the pair, casually discussing sports. During the hangout, one of them suggested shooting a quick "outfit check" video to showcase their looks. Thimna reveals they used her phone, and she fully expected the final clip to feature the two men; instead, they asked her to step in. The content creator was left blindsided when the footage surfaced online two weeks later.
