Speculation is swirling across social media about a potential romantic connection between renowned businesswoman Zodwa Mnkandla and Luis Manana.
Their interactions on the third season of Young, Famous & African have captured the attention of fans, prompting many to wonder whether their bond extends beyond friendship.
The pair has shared a series of heartwarming photos on Instagram, showcasing moments of laughter, embraces, and shared joy. These posts have only fueled public curiosity. In one particular photo, Luis referred to Zodwa with the affectionate nickname “My Zozo,” further sparking debates about the nature of their relationship.
Zodwa’s participation in the third season of Young, Famous & African added an unexpected twist to the show. She officiated the wedding of Zari Hassan and Shakib Cham, a role that placed her firmly in the spotlight. During the ceremony, Luis, seated beside Nadia Nakai, casually referred to Zodwa as his “special friend.”
When Nadia questioned him about his earlier statements about having a girlfriend, Luis offered an ambiguous response, neither confirming nor denying his relationship status. This cryptic exchange left viewers intrigued and intensified speculation about the duo’s connection.

The age gap between Zodwa, 52, and Luis, 30, has also become a topic of discussion among fans. While some are surprised by the pairing, others view it as a reflection of evolving norms in modern relationships, particularly given Zodwa’s role in officiating a marriage between an older woman and a younger man.
So far, neither Zodwa nor Luis has addressed the rumors directly.
Zodwa Mnkandla has been a prominent figure in the public eye, with her personal life frequently making headlines. She is widely remembered for her high-profile relationship with the late Genius “Ginimbi” Kadungure. The two often referred to each other as husband and wife, despite their relationship ending before Ginimbi’s untimely death in a car accident. Interestingly, their relationship also featured a notable age gap, as Ginimbi was 11 years younger than Zodwa. She is also a proud mother of two daughters from previous relationships.
