Penny Ntuli And Mbuso Zulu Have Come Out In The Open About Their Relationship

Mzansi has been watching Penny Ntuli and Mbuso Zulu for months, and it seems the two have finally decided to stop keeping fans guessing about what is really going on between them.

For the longest time, Penny Ntuli and Uzalo actor Mbuso Zulu were at the centre of dating rumours. The two were often seen together, sharing pictures and videos that left many people wondering if there was more to their relationship than friendship.

What made things even more interesting was the fact that they previously referred to each other as brother and sister.

In September 2026, Mbuso finally confirmed that Penny is not just a friend or “sister” in his life. The Uzalo star went down on one knee during a family gathering in Umlazi, Durban, and asked Penny to marry him.

The beautiful moment was captured on camera as their families watched. Mbuso later shared the emotional video on social media with a simple caption saying, “She said YES.”

Penny also confirmed the engagement by sharing a picture of herself and Mbuso, accompanied by the words “Changed titles.”

As if the engagement was not juicy enough, Penny later revealed something that had many people talking.

According to reports, Penny had secretly been testing Mbuso’s character before the proposal.

While Mbuso was making plans for a ceremony at his home, Penny started asking him for an allowance.

Mbuso reportedly gave her the money every time, and sometimes even gave her more than she had requested.

She revealed that Mbuso had given her around R31,000 since he started working in June, without knowing that she had been putting the money away.

When Mbuso later joked about wanting his money back, Penny reportedly surprised him by returning the money she had saved.

What makes the story even more interesting is that the pair had already been giving Mzansi clues about their relationship.

Earlier this year, pictures and videos of the two together sparked dating rumours. Mbuso even joked about the rumours on social media instead of giving fans a serious answer.

At the time, the two continued to describe their relationship as being like siblings.

But it appears there was much more happening behind the scenes.

Now, they are officially engaged and have publicly acknowledged their love for one another.

Mbuso, who is known for playing Cash Money on Uzalo, has also spoken about his journey of rebuilding his life after spending time in prison. His relationship with Penny comes during a period where he has been making a name for himself beyond acting, including motivational speaking and activism.

Penny, meanwhile, is also entering a new chapter in her career. The former Gagasi FM presenter recently announced that she has joined the cast of eTV’s eGagasini Waves of Change.

It looks like things are really coming together for the media personality.

From being linked by rumours, to calling each other siblings, to finally saying “this is my person” and getting engaged, Penny Ntuli and Mbuso Zulu have certainly taken Mzansi on a journey.

And honestly, many people probably did not see that engagement coming.
