Lasizwe Dambuza, the creator and host of the popular South African YouTube dating show Awkward Dates, has confirmed that politician-turned-socialite Julius Malema will be his next celebrity guest. However, the announcement didn’t go as planned after the news was leaked by a close friend.
Lasizwe, who is known for his fun and quirky dating show, expressed his disappointment on Instagram after learning that his personal news had been shared with entertainment blogger Musa Khawula. “I CAN’T BELIEVE SOMEONE FROM MY CLOSE FRIENDS LEAKED SOMETHING I POSTED IN CONFIDENCE AND OUT OF EXCITEMENT TO A WHOLE M*SA KH*WULA…,” Lasizwe wrote, clearly frustrated by the situation.
The leak quickly spread across social media when Musa Khawula posted on X (formerly Twitter), saying, “Lasizwe Dambuza’s close friends reveal that Lasizwe will be going on an Awkward Date with politician turned socialite Julius Malema.”
Despite the unexpected leak, Lasizwe took it in stride and turned the situation into a fun opportunity to engage with his audience. He responded with humour and excitement, writing, “The rumours are true… Julius Malema is coming to Awkward Dates! Sad I couldn’t announce myself but ke we here now! What should I ask my Juju on our date?”
Fans of Awkward Dates are now eagerly awaiting the upcoming episode, where Lasizwe will go on a blind date with one of South Africa’s most talked-about figures.
