South Africans were moved by the woman’s journey from hope to heartbreak, reflecting on the challenges of long-term relationships and the importance of trust and communication.

On 23 August 2025, TikTok user @neliswa_ngubane2 shared a video recounting the shocking experience of driving from Johannesburg to KwaMhlabuyalingana, only to discover her long-term boyfriend was getting married. She explained that they had dated for over six years, but during the relationship, several red flags appeared, which she chose to overlook. While living and working in Johannesburg, she had kept in touch with him, but on 9 August 2021, her attempts to reach him were met with silence, only to be followed by a vague explanation that he was taking his mother to the hospital. Concerned, she borrowed money to travel home and check on him, not realising the heart-wrenching truth awaiting her.

Her journey home was filled with worry and confusion, as she repeatedly tried to reach him with no proper response. Upon arrival at his home, she noticed a tent outside, which led her to believe a family emergency or funeral might have occurred. Every family member on his side knew her, which gave her reassurance that she was expected. However, the shocking revelation came when his sister informed her that the man was actually getting married. The emotional betrayal left her devastated, and she had to cope with the trauma by seeking therapy and resting for several weeks after returning to Johannesburg.
