Chef Xolani recently made waves on social media with a candid confession that left fans shocked.

This unexpected revelation has sparked widespread conversation online, with some supporting Vuyokazi and others questioning the rapid pace of her relationship with Xolani.
In response, Vuyokazi issued a heartfelt statement, addressing the public reaction to the confession. “I am reaching out to you with a heavy heart, as recent events have deeply affected me,” she began, opening up about her personal struggles in dealing with the accusations. She continued, “These accusations have brought to light a side of him that I was previously unaware of or perhaps chose not to see. I am devastated by the things said, and I am struggling to process the emotional impact of this situation.”
Vuyokazi’s statement reveals her sadness and frustration at her personal life becoming a source of public scrutiny. She expressed gratitude to those showing her empathy, saying, “Your empathy and words have given me strength during this painful time.” Yet, she also appealed for understanding and respect, adding, “While some may view this as entertainment, I want to remind everyone that behind every headline and every comment is a person—a woman who only ever wanted love.”
On X, users reacted with mixed emotions. Some sympathised with Vuyokazi, acknowledging her journey through heartbreak. @Chreebuddy offered words of encouragement: “Vuyokazi Nciweni, you are beautiful, kind, and an amazing mom…now it’s time to reclaim your power. Rise, dust yourself off, and go after the life you deserve.” Others felt she might have moved on too quickly after past relationships, with @ShellyOfLondon suggesting, “There was no need for Vuyokazi to move on so quickly; she should have focused on her babies.”
In her closing words, Vuyokazi offered solidarity to others who may have faced similar heartbreak, saying, “I ask that we cultivate empathy and kindness, not just for me, but for anyone who has faced the pain of love gone wrong.” She confirmed she would not be making further comments on the matter, requesting privacy as she navigates this difficult time.

There was no need for Vuyokazi to move on so quickly she should have focused on her babies instead of trying to outrun Tirelo and Mpumelelo
