Popular South African DJ Hazel Kotu, widely known as Hazel MaHazard, has broken her silence regarding the highly publicized romantic entanglement involving her boyfriend Thendo Zonzo and social media influencer Vuyokazi Nciweni.
Speaking candidly during an appearance on the Engineer Your Life With Lungelo KM podcast, Kotu provided fresh insights into the incident that initially took social media by storm following a viral nightclub video. Pushing back against Nciweni’s previous claims that her encounter with Zonzo was merely a brief, random moment, Kotu detailed how Zonzo actively arranged and financed Nciweni’s travel from Cape Town to Gauteng, covering accommodation, transport, and nightlife expenses.
Despite the fallout, Kotu emphasized that she harbors no ill will toward Nciweni, placing the blame squarely on Zonzo. Describing Nciweni as having been “duped” by Zonzo’s promises, Kotu explained that she chose forgiveness for both parties as part of her personal healing process rather than out of malice or public confrontation.
