Beauty Influencer Mihlali Ndamase and Mike Britz Embroiled in Courtship Gone Bad
Embroiled in a scandal of courtship gone wrong, social media personality and beauty influencer Mihlali Ndamase took to social media to issue a statement to tell her version of events concerning her relations with alleged suitor Mike Britz. Detailing her side of the story on the press release published on the 18th of January 2026, the 2021 Forbes Africa 30 Under 30 recipient spoke about the trauma of being stalked and feeling as though she’s under constant surveillance she never consented to owing to Mike’s failed attempts to hitch up Ndamase and make things official.
“For several months I have been subjected to ongoing harassment threats and intimidation by a man named Michael Britz also known as Mike(at)thegreatestofalltime. After I rejected his advances, his behaviour escalated into something obsessive and frightening,” the statement said.

The full statement, which can be read here on her Instagram account, also saw Ndamase allege that Mike has been setting people on her trail to tail her, having her movements monitored and Mike also making unwelcome visits at her place of profession. In addition to having pictures of her being taken in public by people she feels have been sent by Mike, Mihlali also included on a hunch that her family was also affected by being approached by people that were on Mike’s side.
She rounded off her statement with a strong ending that signaled her will to take the legal route against Mike Britz, and that she wasn’t going to back down, stating, “A woman does not owe access to her life or her body or her time because she was pursued.”

After Mimi spoke her piece, screenshots flooded the socials of alleged receipts concerning the events that transpired between the beauty influencer and the married man. The screen captures also threatened the integrity of Mihlali’s claims on her statement.
One of the trending screenshots that have been circulating showed an alleged negotiation between Ndamase and Britz talking about making a booking to a luxury restaurant. The leaked engagement, formal and business-like, also included Mihlali requesting Mike’s email address so she could forward him an NDA form barring him from ever talking about their arrangement, the same NDA she had to go against to air the statement.

Another leak involved information concerning money received by Ndamase from Britz amounting to a known figure of R300 000, money which has been speculated from the leaks to be for monthly allowances as well as for funding business ventures.

It would not be the first time that Mihlali made the headlines in such a fashion, with the most recent fiasco being her relationship with Leeroy Sidambe, a married man she shared a thing with before the romance soured, culminating in allegations of domestic assault and abuse from both sides of the camp.
While Mihlali has issued the statement on her Instagram, she has not provided any proof of the allegations she made, and none of the screenshots that have been circulating have been backed up by incontrovertible proof as yet.
