In what locals are calling a “kasi-level shock of the century,” 28-year-old Zinhle Khumalo from Tembisa claims she recently discovered that her boyfriend, 32-year-old Themba, has been secretly seeing her mother on the side. Yes… the SAME mother she calls “Mama.”
Zinhle says she found out during a family dinner. “I came home for Sunday lunch and saw my mom whispering to Themba… then they kissed. I nearly fainted, bru. I thought my brain was playing tricks on me,” she recalled.
The revelation has sent shockwaves through her family and social circle. “People keep asking, ‘Was it intentional?’ ‘Did he know?’ ‘Is this a curse?’ I don’t know what to say. All I know is… I feel betrayed on every level,” Zinhle said.
Neighbours are torn between laughing and crying. “Eish, only in Mzansi would your boyfriend be your mom’s side piece,” said one neighbour, shaking his head. “This is drama for the ages. You can’t even make this up!”
Social media exploded when Zinhle posted about the incident anonymously. Comments ranged from “This is toxic AF 😬” to “Wait, so he was dating you AND your mom? Madness!” Some even started joking about introducing DNA tests at family gatherings.
Relationship experts say this is a classic case of triangle drama, but with a kasi twist. “This isn’t just cheating; this is multi-level betrayal. Emotional trauma is high, and boundaries were clearly not respected,” said therapist Thabo Mthethwa.
Meanwhile, Themba has issued a statement: “It wasn’t planned. It just happened. I… I’m sorry.” Zinhle’s mother, on the other hand, refused to comment, allegedly saying, “I don’t want to talk about family business in public.”
