A Date Night That Left Everyone Talking
- One woman seeking love shared the unforgettable date she experienced, and it quickly became the talk of the town.
- She uploaded a TikTok video documenting every moment of her night with her potential suitor, sparking a wave of reactions.
- After watching the video, people didn’t hold back when sharing their thoughts about the date, offering both humor and honesty.
In this era of dating apps and endless swipes, one woman decided to share her unique experience with the world. Aphelele Mkhize, a lady on a quest for love in 2025, uploaded a TikTok video that took viewers on a rollercoaster ride of her date night. She didn’t just document the evening; she gave us a front-row seat to the highs and lows of modern dating.
The video of this unconventional date garnered over 6,000 likes, proving that people love a good story—especially when it’s as unexpected as this one. Many were left scratching their heads after realizing that the date ended up in Thembisa, a location not typically associated with romantic evenings. Let’s just say, it wasn’t exactly Paris or Venice.
A Date Night That Raised Eyebrows
Aphelele Mkhize’s TikTok video painted a vivid picture of her harrowing date. From the get-go, things didn’t exactly go according to plan. The man she was meeting was late—so late, in fact, that she was seriously considering canceling the whole thing. But when he finally arrived, the surprises kept coming. He showed up wearing pink crocs, a fashion choice that left her less than impressed.

It turned out to be his birthday week, and he was in the mood for a night out on the town. His plan? Start at a casual spot where his friends were hanging out. Dinner? Pap, a traditional South African dish. Then, they moved on to a shisa nyama in Thembisa. But the night wasn’t over yet—he wanted to hit the clubs. Aphelele noted that while he did hold her hand, making her think he might have feelings for her, the majority of the date was spent in the car driving from one place to the next.
Adding insult to injury, the man dedicated Fridayy’s hit song When It Comes to You to her. Ironically, the song’s chorus is all about not wasting a woman’s time—something he clearly failed to do by showing up late.
South Africans React to the Thembisa Date
Social media users were quick to weigh in, and let’s just say, they weren’t exactly fans of the date plan. Many argued that taking someone out to Thembisa for a first date wasn’t exactly the epitome of romance. The location choice left a lot to be desired, especially for someone looking for a memorable evening.
Cheneeks couldn’t help but laugh at the irony: “Him playing ‘I won’t waste no time, when it comes to you’ while wasting your time is diabolical 😭.”
