DJ Zinhle has revealed that her cryptic social media video hinting at a major life-changing decision was actually a promotional campaign for her upcoming Zee Nation Fest—not an announcement about leaving her husband Murdah Bongz .
The Cryptic Teaser
Towards the end of February, Zinhle posted a video with worry written on her face, saying she “has to go” . The video dropped shortly after Murdah Bongz was embroiled in an alleged cheating scandal, leading many fans to believe she was finally leaving him following another wave of public humiliation .
The teaser left room for interpretation, and social media quickly filled with speculation about the state of her marriage .
The Big Reveal
On Monday, 3 March 2026, Zinhle released the full video, revealing it was all a clever marketing strategy for her festival .
“Like, there is no other decision I have to make. It’s an obvious decision. I have to go,” she said. A voice in the background asks if she is really set on leaving, but her facial expression shifts dramatically .
“Leaving, what do you think this is about? I am going to Bestieville!” she exclaimed .
Nomuzi ‘Moozlie’ Mabhena’s voice then chimes in: “Forget about the rumours,” before promoting this year’s Zee Nation Fest. The festival is set to take place on 9 August 2026 .
“So, you’re going to a festival?” the voice asks. “Yes! Because I need to be around my besties. Because no matter what, I’ll always have my besties!” Zinhle replied before winking at the camera .

Social Media Reactions
Some eagle-eyed users had already suspected when the first trailer dropped that this was one of DJ Zinhle’s marketing strategies .
X user @EMuthubi posted the clip with the caption: “Lmao, I knew it was a marketing strategy, DJ Zinhle is not leaving that man” .
Others praised her marketing genius. @Visiswa_Simbi said: “She is a marketing genius, this one” .
Some fans pointed out that the cheating allegations were never proven. @Ngimuhlez commented: “But to be honest, it is all just speculation. There is no concrete evidence that was given. Imagine leaving your marriage because ‘Musa doesn’t lie’ said so?” .
Others remained sceptical. @BadGirl30s claimed: “Deep down, she knows what she needs to do. She’s just in denial. She’s playing us!” .
@TshiiPree stated simply: “She’s going nowhere. She’s not leaving him. She is here to stay” .
@Shirlez offered relationship advice: “Did y’all expect her to leave him? Y’all will die single, shame. Mosadi utswara tipa kabohale” .
Zee Nation Fest is scheduled for 9 August 2026, with tickets now available .
