Followers of both Thuso Mbedu and Musa Mthombeni, having seen how much the medical doctor was professing love for the actress, urged them to make marriage a reality for themselves. Many were so sure that the pair would make an incredibly perfect couple.
In March 2015, Mthombeni stirred more heat when he made a tweet insinuating that he wants to pay Thuso’s bride price in the form of cows. He took to his Twitter page asking Thuso for the address for the delivery of the cows. This sparked even more speculations from observers about what may be going on between the doctor and the actress.
Hi @ThusoMbedu , I need the address for the delivery of the cows for next week.
Uncle Madluphuthu will be there at 8am sharp.
It’s not a negotiation. Whatever your family wants they’ll get.
Kind regards

When fans saw this, many were convinced that one day, Thuso and Mthombeni would walk down the aisle as husband and wife. The more skeptical ones joked that they would have Thuso arrested if a marriage does not happen between her and Mthombeni.

As expected, Mthombeni’s gift of 100 roses to Thuso Mbedu caused quite some stir on social media.

On his own part, Mthombeni had an interview with Move! magazine where he also declared that he was not dating Thuso.

The whole thing happened at the funeral for one of Mthombeni’s friends, Akhumzi Jezile, which was attended by Thuso, as well as Mthombeni and his mother. After the funeral, Mthombeni’s mother saw Thuso and decided to have a chat with her and that was when she asked Thuso why she was not giving her son a chance.

After revealing this development on Twitter, Thuso, who saw Mthombeni’s tweet actually replied to the tweet, saying that she loves his mother. She also joked that she didn’t expect what the older woman did.
