MORE THAN JUST FRIENDS?
According to a source who spoke to ZiMoja, Yoba “has always loved her.”
“But I think they were waiting for the right time. They have kept in touch. She was around during his marriage, as a friend,” the source says.
“But maybe this is the right time but she does not want a long-distance relationship.”
WHAT CLAIRE MAWISA SAID ABOUT THE DATING RUMOURS IN 2016
This is not the first time that Mawisa and Yoba have been rumoured to be in a romantic relationship.
In 2016, Mawisa set the record straight on their relationship during an interview on Real Talk With Anele, TshisaLIVE reported at the time.
“We actually never spoke when he saw me. He came to the Kaya FM building, as one of the producers had booked him for an interview. We never spoke and nobody introduced us,” she explained.
“He [Malik] was explaining to somebody that he saw somebody in South Africa with dreadlocks, really beautiful. The girl was like ‘is it Claire?’ And he was like ‘I don’t know’. Then she googles my face, [and asks] ‘Is this her?’ And he’s like ‘Oh my goodness, that’s her’. And then she’s like ‘She’s on Twitter, tweet her’.
“”There is no love connection. There is no romance. I think he was really overzealous.
