However, their relationship didn’t work because the “strict” religious singer was too controlling and held her back in her career.

“He would get upset if I had to kiss another man on-screen. Without understanding that it’s just a role and I have to do these things because it’s my job. In a way, he really held me back and it was only after I left him that my career soared. Literally we broke up and 3 days later I got the call that I got the gig on Durban Gen.”

Nelisiwe started dating Ayanda in University and broke up with him in 2019.

She says a difference in religious beliefs was why she chose to end things, saying they were never going to make things work.

“I’d never marry a weak man, I would never marry a man who feels like I overpower him.”

The actress who is rumoured to be dating Robert Marawa, laughed off the rumours, saying they’re just friends.

“I am not dating Robert, I don’t know where this is coming from. We are friends, he’s an amazing man but we are not dating.”
