Lasizwe is bringing one of South Africa's most polarising figures to his popular YouTube series, and the internet already has thoughts. On Wednesday, 26 August 2026, the content creator posted a teaser on X, posing next to a silhouetted figure with a set of clues that left very little to the imagination.

The post read:

"Guess who's on Awkward Dates tomorrow? (Hint: he's always fighting and shouting on some podcast. He knows a lot about the music industry in South Africa, and when he was 4 years old he told his mom not to vote for Nelson Mandela.)"
