Sello Maake kaNcube, a renowned South African actor, and his wife Pearl Mbewe-Maake kaNcube, found themselves embroiled in a public altercation during their recent visit to the Grahamstown Arts Festival in the Eastern Cape. Sello was in Grahamstown to perform in the acclaimed stage play “The Suit,” which he had previously appeared in 30 years ago at the prestigious Market Theatre, according to ZiMoja
According to a reliable source who was also present at the festival and staying in the same hotel, the Ncubes engaged in a heated argument after returning from the festival, which reportedly involved raised voices and profanity. The incident has sparked speculation and discourse within the entertainment industry, as the public is often interested in the personal lives of prominent figures, particularly those in the performing arts.
The source said:
“Pearl was screaming and swearing at Sello. The next morning, she appeared with a black eye and broken lips,” The source added, “The situation is so bad that Sello left his wife behind while she was suffering from pain after the altercation. We don’t know the reason for the latest fight.”
According to reports, the Ncube couple often presents a united and cohesive image in public, but behind closed doors, their relationship is marked by intense disagreements. Sources close to the couple have revealed that their private interactions can be likened to those of feuding teenagers.
It is alleged that recently, Pearl Ncube returned home a day after being left alone in the Eastern Cape by her husband, suggesting a potential rift or dispute between the two. While the public face of their relationship may convey a sense of harmony, the sources indicate that the Ncubes’ private life is marked by turbulence and discord, challenging the perception of a picture-perfect partnership.Another source alleged that Sello feels trapped in the marriage because Pearl is managing him and has managed to bring him good deals.
The source revealed:
“She had to make means to fly back to Jozi on her own and find her way home from the airport. That man feels trapped in that marriage because Pearl knows a lot about him and she has people who will always clean her image while portraying him as a villain,” added the source.
In this statement, Pearl expresses frustration over the media’s involvement in her marital issues with her husband, Sello. She claims that every time something occurs between them, unnamed sources provide information to the press, revealing their private problems.
Pearl also reveals that when ZiMoja attempted to contact them, she and Sello were together, but Sello declined a video call, citing his unwillingness to allow such interactions. Furthermore, Pearl states that Sello ignored their subsequent calls and text messages. The tone suggests Pearl’s irritation with the public nature of her personal relationship challenges.
Pearl said:
"Why is it that every time something is happening between my husband and I, there are sources who are telling you our problems.You know the kind of husband I am married to won't allow that," she said.
