Khanyi Mbau's boyfriend Kudzai Mushonga took to Instagram Live on Tuesday to lament his relationship woes after Khanyi abruptly left Dubai and returned to SA without telling him.

The couple had been on vacation in the UAE for a few days when Kudzai caused panic on the internet on Tuesday, alleging Khanyi had “gone missing”.

Following a wave of panic, Khanyi told TshisaLIVE she was “well and alive” and later posted updates on her Instagram to show she's back on home soil.

The actress has offered no explanation for her “sudden” departure from Dubai nor has she shared any comment about the online drama caused by her bae.

Kudzai took to Instagram to post a video in which he said he was shocked by Khanyi's actions and was hurt because of the many sacrifices he made for their relationship.

“So all this time I'm going crazy saying I can't find Khanyi [while] she's actually on a flight back to Joburg. She didn't say, we didn't fight, we didn't argue the same day she left, I thought I'm honestly sending a message. I should've known. Things I did to just make my women happy. I don't know if this is love but if it is love, it hurts. I don't have energy, I'm shaking. Baby I didn't know  you were like this. Everything I've had, I shared with you,” he said.

The businessman revealed he and Khanyi had moved to Dubai to start afresh with intentions of staying there for a year as they opened a company together with the hopes of becoming "global".

“I thought I'm bringing you to Dubai so we can become global So I registered a company in Dubai in which Khanyi is a 51% shareholder. She came up with the name. The plan was for her to do her social media stuff while I do my regular work. It cost more than a hundred and something to register a company and I paid for that.”

Kudzai said he never fought with Khanyi physically nor had an argument before her departure.

“We didn't fight physically or anything. It was just different chats. I don't know if this is her saying goodbye to me because when I drop you off at the salon and you take a flight back to SA and I seem like a crazy person, you should've just let me know.”

Kudzai said his mother had warned him about Khanyi and advised him to move to America alone but he decided to stick with his girlfriend.

“Wow! Was I really that bad to you? How many things of my own did I sacrifice? I should've listened to my mother, but anyway, that's love. She's the first person I never cheated on.. We were like so close to each other. You're my wife, you're my person. We did everything together for the past eight months. We woke up in the same house.”

Lasizwe, who has been posting Instagram stories of himself and Khanyi together in Johannesburg, commented on Kudzai's Instagram live advising him to stop, to which he responded saying: “Lasizwe you don't know how much I sacrificed for your sister and if I knew this two months after I met her, I would've planned things differently. I'm not enemies with your sister. We didn't fight."
