'MAFS Mzansi's Hlulani Ngobeni Shades Ex Nompumelelo on His Graduation Post

• Hlulani Ngobeni from Married At First Sight Mzansi Season 3 celebrated his graduation on 3 October 2026
• A fan asked Hlulani where his ex Nompumelelo was, and his response left Mzansi in stitches
• Hlulani's shady comeback quickly spread across X, with many fans weighing in on the exchange

Hlulani Ngobeni is not here to play — and his graduation day made that very clear. The Married At First Sight Mzansi Season 3 star posted a video celebrating his graduation on 2 October 2026, and what followed in the comments had the internet losing it completely.

Fan N'wa Mucanyi, @KhananiShingan1, reposted the moment with the caption "😭😭 eh Hlulani," which seemed to say everything without needing a single word. The original post racked up over 327,000 views on X.

The trouble started when a commenter, DiWeLeLe, asked Hlulani where Nompumelelo was, seemingly expecting to see his former partner somewhere in the graduation video. Hlulani's reply was swift and cutting: "It's only Graduates 🎓 this side."

Hlulani and Nompumelelo's MAFS split

The two were paired by relationship experts on Married At First Sight Mzansi Season 3 but ultimately could not make things work. Their time together was marked by communication struggles, frequent arguments, and tension around Hlulani's TikTok activity, as well as unresolved issues tied to their individual pasts. The relationship has since ended.

Given that history, Hlulani's single-line response hit differently for fans who had watched their journey on the show.
