“The Audacity, Yeses”: Screenshot of Mjolo Trouble Has Mzansi Ladies Stunned

• A local woman thought she had found a partner after giving mjolo a chance, only to realise that the man was also looking for 'princess treatment' in the relationship
• She shared a screenshot of their conversation on TikTok, revealing the man's bold character while suggesting something to her
• The post left viewers shocked by the man's audacity, while others thought maybe it was a test to see the kind of person the woman was

A Ndebele content creator was left in disbelief when a man she had started seeing texted asking for them to go on a date, but showed no interest in footing the bill.

The screenshot was shared on her TikTok account @maizuzu18 on 17 March 2026, where it reached over 100K views in just hours and nearly 600 comments from stunned viewers.

The man started by politely asking the creator if she would kindly take them on a date. Shocked by the request, she responded by asking him with which money, signalling that she had none for a date.

The man's date request

The man did not back down; he boldly told her to use the little that she has, noting that it was important to share the little you have and not wait till you have millions. Getting irritated by the request, she asked why he didn't do that with the little that he had instead of asking her. He came back explaining that he could, but wanted her to do it, which TikTok user @maizuzu18 refused to do.

The post went viral, gaining massive views and comments from hundreds of social media users who were shocked to see the woman's screenshot. Many viewers called the man brave and noted they had never encountered such a request from partners. Some advised the content creator to block the man. They argued that it was low of him to initiate a date and ask her to pay for it. One viewer noted that the man had edited his first sentence, which asked to be taken on a date, and wondered what he had originally said.
