The Ultimatum: South Africa fans finally got what they had been rooting for, as Nkateko Mahange and Sizakele 'Siza' Dhlamini appeared together in a relaxed, close-nit set, Mzansi social media alight.

The selfie-style clip, filmed indoors in what appears to be a bedroom or lounge setting, shows Sizakele in the foreground with Nkateko reclining casually behind her, the two radiating a comfortable, unhurried energy.

The pair first captured South African hearts on the reality show, but their potential romance was overshadowed by turbulent circumstances that kept them apart for months.

Nkateko's bitter past

In January 2026, Nkateko released a public statement confirming he would pursue sole custody of his young son, citing that his relationship with fellow The Ultimatum castmate Khanya Nqolase had deteriorated to the point of toxicity. The custody battle and the fallout from that relationship became a talking point long after the show wrapped, making this new video all the more significant to fans who had quietly hoped Nkateko and Sizakele would eventually find their way to each other.

@Thebaddie02 shared:

"This just shows me how hard it is to find the one. I feel like they both settled. It can't be that, they are just starting to date now, if they felt for each other that much that time, I think they couldn't find who they both wanted and decided to settle together."
