Popular content creator Lasizwe Dambuza has confirmed that South African politician Julius Malema will appear as a guest on his popular show Awkward Dates. The announcement, made by Dambuza on his Instagram stories, has left fans buzzing with excitement. The show, which has already been nominated for a South African TV and Film Award (SAFTA), will feature an unusual pairing between Dambuza and the fiery politician, often referred to as “Juju.”
In his post, Dambuza shared a photoshopped image of Malema as a teaser for the upcoming episode, causing a stir among his followers. However, things took an unexpected turn when gossip blogger Musa Khawula leaked the news before Dambuza had the chance to make the official announcement himself. Khawula shared a screenshot of a diary entry revealing that Dambuza would be filming with Malema, much to the content creator’s disappointment.
Dambuza expressed his frustration with the leak, acknowledging that he had been eager to share the news himself but was forced to play catch-up after Khawula broke the story. In a follow-up post, he confirmed, “The rumours are true… Julius Malema is coming to Awkward Dates! Sad I couldn’t announce myself but ke we here now! What should I ask my Juju on our date?”
Fans of both Dambuza and Malema flooded the comments, shocked by the unusual pairing and speculating about what could happen during their conversation. Comments ranged from amusement to disbelief, with one fan joking that this episode would redefine awkwardness, while another called it one of the best episodes of the year.
With the much-anticipated episode on the horizon, Dambuza’s followers are eagerly awaiting to see how the dynamic between the politician and the content creator will unfold on Awkward Dates. The show promises to deliver a truly memorable and unpredictable encounter between two very different public figures.
