The House of Zwide actor has revealed to Daily Sun what is happening between them.

But Gabi didn't want to confirm or deny Motlatsi's claim that they are only friends.
"People should be on the lookout for our channel. We'll come clean there. The video will not just be about us telling people if we're couple or just friends, it'll be a beautiful video that'll heal a lot of people," Gabi said.
The pair said the idea to start the channel came with Gabi.
"Initially, Mo was skeptical about it. I had been planting the idea in his head. I was telling him that we don't need to wait for a broadcaster, we can do it ourselves. He finally bought into the idea and it happened," she said.
Motlatsi said they will be bringing a lot of content on their channel and urged people to subscribe.
"There'll be a lot of content. We'll be traveling a lot with Gabisile. We'll have a lifestyle show, relationship podcast to help people deal with marital and relationship problems. We'll also talk about our own own issues," he said.
The actor said their biggest project on the channel will be the podcast and they'll focus on South African legends in the entertainment industry.

"South Africa is filled with a lot of greats and unfortunately, the industry does not take care of its own. We want to speak to them about their journeys. What they dealt with, and celebrate them. We have so many legends who've done and still do so much work, but we've forgotten about them.
"I feel this is a calling and we are responding to it. We want to give them their flowers while we still can. Awards don't even celebrate our artists accordingly," said Motlatsi.
They said they will also be throwing parties for these legends.
"We'll throw every guest a party just to say ‘we appreciate you.' We did the same thing with Linda Sebezo a few months ago. We hosted a party for her and she was so excited. She just had to dress up and show up. People were there to show her love.
"Right now, we've started doing the pre-production. We'll speak about things that you don't hear on radio interviews. For now, we'd like people to subscribe to our channel," he said.
