TikTok users Caliva and Ziya have quickly become the talk of the town across various social media platforms as users react to the reason behind their unfortunate break-up, just a month after getting together.
For those who are not chronically online like the rest of us, let us bring you up to speed regarding the whole Caliva and Ziya story.
Ziya and Caliva reportedly started dating in May 2025, after they coincidentally met during a TikTok live session. The two quickly hit it off, and within a few days, romantic sparks were flying, marking the beginning of their journey as a couple.
Although their relationship would be long-distance, as Caliva stays in Makhanda, while Ziya is based in Gauteng, the two were determined to make things work as they believed that their feelings were too strong to ignore. The couple’s connection and story touched the hearts of many, including Intercape, which gifted the couple with return tickets that are valid for three years.

The story takes a twisted turn, as just a month after their relationship began, netizens were shocked to find out that the couple is going through a rough patch, which subsequently resulted in their breakup. Taking to his personal account, Caliva shared screenshots of conversations between him and Ziya. The screenshots revealed that the more time they spent as a couple, the more frustrations came about.
According to the texts, which have now found their way across various social media platforms, Ziya had grown frustrated with Caliva’s unemployed status,. She was under the impression that it was a result of his laziness and lack of effort, as opposed to the lack of opportunities. Furthermore, Caliva’s consistent use of grammar, such as full stops and commas when texting her, appeared to aggravate Ziya.
Ziya and Caliva, oh man. Ziya assumed Caliva had money only to find out he was unemployeed and she slowly started to hate the boy. Bruh, getting worked over fullstops in a message!? Nah😭🙌🏾 pic.twitter.com/peU5sd3xC3

The general consensus among the public appears to be that Ziya’s feelings towards Caliva started to change when she realised that things are not as she expected, particularly as far as Caliva’s financial situation is concerned.
The problem between Ziya and Caliva was not the full stops🌚🌚 ngeke I think money was the problem coz ugirl kept on emphasising that her phone is broken so she will be off the social but all Caliva could do was to ask her for how long instead of sending her money to buy a phone. pic.twitter.com/ZoLKzDY6p0
