Minnie Dlamini and Brian Monaisa launch their relationship on Instagram

South African TV and media personality, Minnie Dlamini, has made her relationship with Brian Monaisa official on Instagram, after months of speculation.

Minnie was the subject of a war of words with Brian’s ex-girlfriend, Neema Aloyce, who accused Minnie of having an affair with Brian. She issued an apology to Minnie following her public outburst.

“I also apologise to Minnie, even though she was part and parcel of my betrayal, I should have been able to control how I dealt with the situation,” she said.

However, all speculation over Minnie’s relationship status appears to have disappeared as Brian announced Minnie as his new girlfriend after he invited her along to a business trip.

“I asked my girl to come with me for a business trip, she made it amazing,” Brian wrote, sharing pictures of a few nights out.

He also shared another picture from the trip which revealed Minnie as his photographer.

According to The South African, Minnie has not publicly commented on her new relationship but a close source revealed that her relationship with Brian occurred naturally as their friendship turned romantic.

“They were both in relationships, and they were genuine friends, and we all spent a lot of time together. It just happened naturally when both of them became single. There was no extramarital affair or cheating, just people who had a great time together as friends,” the source said.

Neema suggested otherwise as she claimed Minnie was constantly poking her by posting things with Brian, bragging that she finally “has him” after being his side chick last year.

Neema also accused Minnie of cheating during her own marriage.
