LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Khanya and Nkateko are no longer together. Their journey on 'The Ultimatum: South Africa' was marked by significant challenges, primarily revolving around jealousy and conflict. Initially, Khanya issued an ultimatum to Nkateko after a year of dating, pushing him to either marry her or end the relationship. Nkateko, however, was hesitant, citing financial instability as a reason for not being ready to marry.

The combination of jealousy, constant fighting, and Khanya's inability to cope with Nkateko and Sizakele's new connection on the show resulted in the breakdown of their relationship, leading them to split by the end of the show. In the end, Khanya was offered a promise ring by Nkateko, which she declined after all that happened on the show and just like that, Nkateko's dream of walking down the aisle with Khanya vanished.

Khanya earns the title of ‘mean girl’ on ‘The Ultimatum: South Africa' 

On 'The Ultimatum: South Africa', Khanya earned the title of 'mean girl' due to her aggressive and often hurtful behavior towards others, especially when she became jealous of her partner Nkateko's new connection with Sizakele. During the show, Nkateko was paired with Sizakele for a three-week trial period, and they developed a close bond. This connection made Khanya extremely jealous, leading her to frequently lash out at Sizakele and others.

Khanya's behavior was marked by several incidents where she made disparaging comments and created tension. For instance, she often targeted Sizakele, making negative remarks about her body and their relationship. This led to numerous heated arguments, with Khanya's actions being seen as particularly aggressive and unkind.

In one notable instance, Khanya's jealousy boiled over during a confrontation, where she openly criticized Sizakele in front of others. Her actions were not limited to verbal attacks; she also displayed a hostile attitude that made many feel uncomfortable. Nkateko himself noted the difficulty of the situation, saying, "It's very painful seeing how comfortable they are with each other."

Khanya's relentless jealousy and aggressive behavior towards Sizakele and even towards her own partner, Nkateko, solidified her reputation as the 'mean girl' of the show.
