South African actress and reality TV star Khanyi Mbau revealed on Instagram on 16 January that she has reconciled with her boyfriend, Kudzai Mushonga, after a brief breakup earlier this month. The couple’s relationship, which has been marked by ups and downs since 2021, seems to be back on track after Kudzai reached out to Khanyi to address their issues.
In her Instagram post, Khanyi described how Kudzai reached out to her and demanded that they discuss the “bad things” he had done, which led to their split. The conversation was emotional, with Khanyi admitting she cried while Kudzai listened. She also mentioned that Kudzai sent a car to bring her “home.”
“He called. Demanded I address the bad things he did, he asked to attend the funeral that made me mourn, I cried. He listened. Now I am in the car he sent headed home,” she wrote in the post.
In the caption, Khanyi urged her followers not to judge their decision to reconcile, emphasizing that they are adults making their own choices. She humorously referenced the tattoo of Kudzai’s name on her thigh, hinting at how deeply intertwined their lives have become.
