At the same time, Vuyisa himself had been married to actress Asavela Mqokiyana.
Here’s where things get even more complicated.
The Relationship Timeline Explained
Vuyisa Mqokiyana was previously married to Asavela Mqokiyana. The former couple share one child together and were publicly known as husband and wife before their marriage eventually ended.
During the later stages of that marriage, rumours began circulating that Vuyisa was allegedly involved with Buhle Samuels. Those claims were widely discussed on social media at the time, although never formally tested in court.
Fast forward to the present — Buhle and Vuyisa’s relationship has now allegedly ended, and she reportedly approached the courts seeking protection. But that was before Asavela seized a luxurious car, which was given to her by Vuyisa. Sis took the car, a Porsche to be precise, and showed it off on social media.
And the two have been shading each other on social media. Adding fuel to the fire, Buhle recently posted on Instagram that her “biggest flex” is not having a baby daddy — a statement that instantly sent social media into overdrive, considering Vuyisa shares a child with his ex-wife.
Mzansi connected the dots in record time.
Courtroom Twist Leaves Social Media Buzzing
Just when many expected a drawn-out legal battle, reports indicate that the Randburg Magistrate’s Court dismissed the protection order application.
The alleged case involved serious accusations — including abuse and intimidation — but the reported dismissal has left the public divided.
Some online users are calling for sensitivity around abuse allegations. Others are focusing on the overlapping relationship timelines and questioning how everything unfolded.
Here’s what users had to say:
@Doroshni1: “Yho, she’s been through a lot of shame, even economic abuse.”

TB_the_Poll_Guy: “Buhle’s protection order got dismissed faster than her Porsche left the garage. Matter DISMISSED. Pack it up, queen, the court said NOPE.”
@Mditshwer: “What is Buhle Samuels Asavela doing for a living? Why are they only bringing the allegations now? And why is this reported to Musa Khawula instead of the police station?”
@Marcia______: “Buhle’s ex-husband complained about her alcohol intake mid-divorce allegations, right? She’s really that character she was playing on Muvhango.”
@MaseyThebe: “She knew everything from the beginning, and yet she was happy to be in that relationship, knowing how hurt it was for Asavela, and now that it’s her turn, she’s running to court haii.”
@KagiSpeaks: “Men will be men. They use and discard. There’s no VIP section in this game.”
Meanwhile, both Vuyisa and Asavela have remained publicly silent on the reported dismissal. Buhle, however, continues to trend.
