Girlfriend

A bod who has been named the sexiest man in South Africa at some point in his life should have no trouble finding the ladies. And that’s been the case with Maps. At some point, it was rumoured that Boity and Maps were an item. But it so emerged they were just friends and nothing more.

Maps has been linked to a couple of other celebs. He had previously dated the actress Nomzamo Mbatha, a co-star in the popular comedy Tell Me Sweet Something. At the height of their relationship, many imagined them the perfect couple.

Back then, they used to call each other buddies. Their relationship ended, allegedly due to cheating on Maps Maponyane’s part. Their split notwithstanding, they remain good friends, according to reports.

Boity Dating Rumour

So for much of last year, the blogosphere was lit with rumours that maps and Boity were dating. The rumours appeared to have been stoked by snaps of them together, luxuriating in each other’s company and buffeting the camera with smiles.

They had also spent times together in swanky locations across Mzansi, further stoking the rumous they’re an item.  At some point, Boity had stated that she would subscribe to Maps Maponyane’s OnlyFans, Maps having shared a picture of him looking as hot as can be.

This desire to subscribe to Maps OnlyFans, facetious or not, cemented the belief among some peeps that the pair was dating. With neither confirming no denying a relationship, fans had trooped to Twitter and trended the hashtag #BoityEngagedByMap.

As it turned out, Maps wasn’t engaged to Boity. In fact, right now Boity and Maps are still to be found having wine together, but they’re nor in a relationship. Boity is dating TV star Anton Jeftha rather.

Net Worth

Some of Maps Maponyane’s fans have joked that he is a millennial with a Midas Touch, in that he makes a success of whatever he delves into, from acting to restauranting.

His assets, which reportedly include a G Wagon, should give a clue to what he’s worth.

Buns Out Burger Joint

The Durban branch opened in 2020, with Maps saying he’s excited about it. For one, according to him, he got the support of his staunchest critic, his mother.

The opening of the restaurant in Durban excited the cities inhabitants as it did Maps. For one, Durbanites think they have been left out. Well, no more. Maps has mapped something delightful for them.
