"Thuso Mbedu and Themba Zwane."
The post prompted a flood of reactions, with some users accepting the identification at face value while others questioned it.
One X user, @Makhu_t, commented:
"Why she running to the broer like that's her mans or something."
The account that shared the video, @khelinaMTN, later replied:
"They use to date."

Thuso Mbedu previously shut down dating rumours
The latest speculation also follows Mbedu's public response to unrelated dating rumours involving broadcaster DJ Sbu. The Hollywood actress quickly dismissed the claims after they spread on social media, making it clear she was unhappy with speculation surrounding her private life.
The Woman King star had to issue a stern response to claims that she was in a relationship with broadcaster DJ Sbu. Mbedu famously responded to the claims with "Unyoko loyo," a classic Zulu insult.
She followed up by saying:
"There are definitely more relevant people to start rumours about, I promise."
While the viral video has linked Themba Zwane and Thuso Mbedu in online discussions, the identity of the mystery woman has not been independently verified. Until more information emerges or those involved comment publicly, the speculation surrounding the viral clip is likely to continue on social media.
Thuso Mbedu's national shutdown message sparks debate
Briefly News also reported that Thuso Mbedu found herself trending after sharing a message ahead of the nationwide protests organised by the March and March Movement.
The Hollywood actress urged demonstrators to stay safe, but her post quickly divided opinion, with some praising her while others criticised her stance.
