South African celebrities who broke up badly

One notable example is the breakup of Enhle Mbali Mlotshwa and Nkosinathi Maphumulo, also known as Black Coffee. After months of speculation surrounding the state of their marriage, Enhle Mbali took to Instagram in November 2019 to announce their separation. Rumors had surfaced that Black Coffee had fathered two children outside of their marriage, which led to an increase in tension between them. In the midst of their highly-publicized divorce proceedings, reports indicate that Enhle Mbali has filed multiple maintenance claims against her soon-to-be ex-husband.

Another celebrity couple that went through a public breakup is Cassper Nyovest and Boity, two prominent figures in South Africa’s hip hop scene. Boitumelo Thuso ended their relationship, accusing Cassper Nyovest of immaturity and being unappealing to her. Following the split, Nyovest found solace in teaching fitness courses, perhaps as a way to cope with the aftermath of their breakup.

Bonang Matheba and DJ Euphonik faced a tumultuous breakup that involved allegations of domestic violence. Bonang, the victim of the alleged abuse, decided to take legal action against Euphonik. It is unlikely that these two former partners will ever reconcile or maintain a friendly relationship in the future.

Robert Marawa and Zoe Mthiyane’s relationship took a turn for the worse when Zoe revealed her ex-boyfriend’s poor parenting skills in an open letter. The situation between them escalated, and it can be inferred that their split was far from amicable.

Minnie Dlamini and Itu Khune’s relationship came to an end when Khune was accused of cheating on Minnie with a woman who worked at the SABC. The alleged mistress even demanded that Minnie be dismissed from her SoccerZone position, adding further complications to their breakup.

Lastly, Pearl Thusi and Robert Marawa had an unexpected turn of events. Pearl caused a stir on social media by sharing a photo of an engagement ring, claiming that Robert had given it to her. However, Robert never mentioned their engagement or their status as a couple during their relationship. In August 2017, after months of speculation, Robert finally confirmed on Twitter that they had indeed ended their relationship several months prior, but they remained on good terms as friends.

These celebrity breakups serve as a reminder that even in the glamorous world of fame, relationships can crumble under the weight of personal challenges and public scrutiny.
