Thuli has had to set the record straight on multiple occasions with local social media users constantly spreading rumours about her being in a relationship.
In August this year, the actress had to slam reports claiming she was in a relationship with Jerusalema hitmaker Master KG. Last year she refuted claims she was involved with former president Jacob Zuma’s son Duduzane.
“I mean ‘respect me’ as in stop spending baseless rumours! Hayibo nina, angisadlali!” she wrote.
