SAY WHAT?! Zola and Khanyi Mbau are related?

Johannesburg - Zola and Khanyi Mbau are apparently from the same family! But they won't be visiting home for a cleansing any time soon!

According to Move, the pair both belong to the royal house of Nhlalakahle in Umsinga, KZN.

Talking to the mag, Khanyi confirmed that she is part of the Mchunu clan and that Zola was her brother, but refused to say anything more about their relation.

Zola has also confirmed the royal connection and revealed that they have different fathers.

"Remember that these are issues from the royal family. I have never hidden that I'm a Mchunu. We are related to Khanyi, but with different fathers. It's a private matter," Zola says.

Ukhozi FM DJ, Ngizwe Mchunu is also part of the family and has rubbished reports that the pair may have to return to their family house to perform cleansing ceremonies, for their controversy-filled careers.

"There's nothing like that. The Mchunu family don't want to be seen to be using their popularity in order to get closer to them. There's never been talks for them to come home in KZN for a ritual, but when we meet, we do make sure that we let them know about any events taking place at home," Ngizwe says.

Shoo! Well, they do say we're all related eventually, right?
