Everything You Need To Know About Michael Brits

When Michael Brits went viral on social media, it followed a statement by Mihlali Ndamase in which she called him out for allegedly stalking her and repeatedly showing up at her workplace. This, she said, gave her valid reasons to feel unsafe. As a result, the name Michael Brits echoed across social media platforms.
While many initially sympathised with Mihlali Ndamase, others began to dig deeper, questioning why a man would be so invested in a woman with whom he allegedly had no long-standing relationship. As more information began to surface, several claims started gaining validation. Reports suggested that over R300,000 of verifiable money had been spent on Mihlali Ndamase, leading many to speculate about Michael Brits’ identity. Some labelled him a “blesser,” while others went as far as calling him a fraudster or scammer, with a few even alleging links to organised crime or drug-related activities.
However, after conducting our own research, we uncovered information that challenges these public perceptions. Contrary to the narrative that Michael Brits is an uneducated mafia boss, evidence suggests otherwise. He is reportedly a graduate and a senior professional in recruitment and banking, working in finance and financial investment.
Michael Brits is said to work with one of the country’s prominent asset managers, PilaneHurst, where he assists in building successful businesses across targeted investment industries to meet investor needs.

In January 2015, Michael moved into senior leadership as a Regional Manager, a position he has reportedly held across both a local banking institution and an international banking institute. In this role, he oversees the identification, screening, recruitment, and training of job applicants.
Relationship with Mihlali Ndamase
Michael’s relationship with Mihlali Ndamase allegedly began in 2025. While it was reportedly intended to be brief, based on a gentleman’s agreement between the two, Michael allegedly wanted more than what was initially agreed upon. Mihlali, however, was reportedly uncomfortable with this.
It is further alleged that during this period, despite being a married man, Michael spent significant amounts of money on Mihlali, reportedly running into hundreds of thousands of rands. When Mihlali declined to continue the relationship, it is claimed that Michael demanded a refund.
