Hulisani Ravele is encouraging women to “jola” and explore the dating scene in an open and honest manner. The media personality has revealed her best dates of the year.
Hulisani shared that she has been on several amazing dates in 2021.
“Despite Dribblement, umuntu ujolile this year yaz’!” she wrote on Twitter. The 33-year-old says one of her best dates involved a candle lit dinner during loadshedding.

Your best date for 2021?
Hulisani added that she also went on a virtual movie date with another guy in 2021. They weren’t in the same city but they had an awesome evening together via video call.
“We wanted to watch a particular movie together. We set a date and time, pressed play at the same time on the movie and were on a video call at the same time. We’d press pause and unmute call to laugh together. Arrrrgh!”
Another one, with another guy:

We weren’t in the same city & we wanted to watch a particular movie together. We set a date & time, pressed play at the same time on the movie & were on a video call at the same time. 😅 We’d press pause & unmute call to laugh together. Arrrrgh! 😍
Another date happened after a friend hooked her up with a guy she knew was “feeling” her from a distance.
“Think I was upset after a F1 race & tweeted I didn’t even have cuddles for the pain. Did friend not have me & guy on a 3-way video call & within an hour guy was at my doorstep with tea & jelly babies,” she tweeted.

Single and ready to mingle
Despite going on some great dates, Hulisani says she is “not with any of the above-mentioned brothers”. But she hasn’t given up on the dating scene.
“Mara like I said, umuntu ujolile and ujole kamnandi kanjani, I love it for me! I wonder what 2022 has in-store for me on this front!”
Needless to say I am not with any of the above-mentioned brothers at this juncture, mara like I said, umuntu ujolile and ujole kamnandi kanjani, I love it for me! 🤗 I wonder what 2022 has in-store for me on this front! 📝

The former YoTV presenter rarely shares any details about her love life.
She was last publicly linked to Sidwell ‘Psyfo’ Ngwenya. He married his wife Aamirah in late 2020.
Hulisani seems to be in no rush to settle down.
She says women shouldn’t be afraid to have options in their search for “the one”.
“Ladies, jolani, explore. In an open & honest manner. Our counterparts do it so well, not the open & honest part so much, but the rest. Have options, learn what you like from this one, walk away from what you don’t, find you. Personally, this time in my life has grown me a lot,” she tweeted.
A tweet just reminded me of another great date:

It was my first with this guy that I’d been so reluctant on going on a date with cos we were friends & I’d never seen him in that light. Bestie was like just go. Did we not go for brunch and the date ended the next day. 😍😍😍
We’ll drink to that!
