Actress and DJ Thuli Phongolo has come out to refute claims she is dating amapiano star DJ Maphorisa.

This comes after videos of the two spotted holding hands and intimately dancing together at recent events went viral on social media, sparking dating rumours.

Responding to the speculation, Thuli took to her Twitter timeline on Tuesday, saying she is single and not dating anyone.

“Y’all stop. We’re not dating! I’m so done with you guys!” she wrote.

“And the truth remains, I’m single.”

Thuli has been posting cryptic tweets recently about her being on the fence about being in a relationship.

“Every day I think I’m ready to date but then every day I’m not ready because wow, amadoda,” she wrote.

Mzansi reacted to the rumours. They simple refuse to believe Thuli and Phori’s relationship is platonic.

Check out some of the tweets:

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.
