Media personality Somizi Mhlongo has denied being in the dating scene and has said he is enjoying being single.
Taking to social media this week, the star addressed rumours that he was dating Bongani Mfihlo, who according to his Instagram page, is a DJ.

Somizi is currently going through a very public and messy divorce with his estranged husband, Mohale Motaung.
Somizi and Mohale made headlines in August after Mohale had accused the former “Idols SA” judge of abuse, in an interview Mohale apparently did with producers of the reality show, “Living the Dream with Somizi”.
Mohale told producers Somizi tried to kill him with a kitchen knife and struck him off the road with his car while he tried to flee. The couple had been arguing about Mohale’s alleged cheating.
Somizi denied physically or emotionally abusing Mohale.
“Our relationship has had its ups and downs but I have never been physically or knowingly emotionally abusive towards my estranged husband. I vehemently deny the allegations of criminal acts towards him and would like to clear my name of that defamation.
“What I am going to state, however, is that we had one altercation in which I had to defend myself and both of us were physically hurt by the other. I am, at this stage, not at liberty to dive deeper into the details but can state that he is not a victim in this situation”, he said in a statement.
