Lasizwe Dambuza Manifests a Dream Guest – Zozibini Tunzi Joins Him on “Awkward Dates”

Manifestation might just be real—and Lasizwe Dambuza is living proof. The popular YouTuber and content creator recently shared a wishlist of South Africa’s biggest stars he hoped to host on his hit show Awkward Dates. Just a week later, he found himself nervously sitting across from none other than former Miss Universe Zozibini Tunzi.

“Kinda nervous, on an awkward date with Miss Universe!” Lasizwe captioned a carousel of photos showing the pair mid-shoot. The much-anticipated episode airs Thursday on YouTube, and fans are already buzzing with excitement.

The timing couldn’t be more perfect. Tunzi, affectionately known as South Africa’s “forever Miss Universe,” recently tied the knot with Luthando Bolowana in a romantic ceremony held at Belair Pavilion in the Cape Winelands on March 22, 2025.

Lasizwe’s fans flooded his comments with congratulations and admiration for how far Awkward Dates has come—from humble YouTube beginnings in 2022 to national TV screens.

Instagram user @cleopatra_de_nile16 summed it up:
“The fact that you managed to get your own TV slot for what started out as a small show already shows just how phenomenal and universal it’s about to go. ❤️ Congratulations @lasizwe, you did that!!! 🎉🎉🎉”

Known for asking the kind of bold, uncomfortable questions others shy away from, Lasizwe has already hosted some major names, including:

• EFF leader Julius Malema

• Top broadcaster Anele Mdoda

• Rapper Priddy Ugly

• Veteran actor Kenneth Nkosi

And he’s not stopping anytime soon. Still on his dream guest list are:

• Bonang Matheba

• Grammy winner Tyla

• DJ & viral sensation Uncle Waffles

• “Shaka iLembe” star Thembinkosi Mthembu

With the momentum Awkward Dates is gaining, one thing’s for sure—when Lasizwe asks, the universe listens.
