SuperSport sportscaster Lindiwe Dube and her husband of one year, Sibusiso Nxumalo, are no longer together.

LINDIWE DUBE CONFIRMS SPLIT FROM HER HUSBAND
The soccer presenter, who welcomed her first baby earlier this year, confirmed the news in a post on X (formerly Twitter) on Friday, 13 October.

“Two things I’m grateful for this year. The birth of my son. The courage to leave my toxic marriage,” her deleted post read.

 

According to Sunday World, Dube – who later locked her account – also wrote: “Yes, I am going through a divorce. That’s all I can say.”

A source told the publication: “I knew something was wrong when I saw her starting to use the Dube surname rather than Nxumalo, even on her social pages.

“Now with her recent rants on her social pages, I think they’re heading for a divorce soon.”

Another source alleged that Dube and Nxumalo’s marriage “was filled with nothing but sorrow.”

According to the source, the pair were continuously at loggerheads about their social lives as a married couple. Nxumalo is a pilot by profession.

“At some point, she event went back to her parents’ house in Daveyton [east of Johannesburg].”

WHEN DID THE COUPLE SAY ‘I DO’?
The former couple tied that knot in March last year, which was one year after they started dating.

For their picturesque engagement, the pilot had whisked the sports presenter away to the Nambiti Hills near Ladysmith, in KwaZulu-Natal, seven months into their relationship. Sharing the news on social media at the time, Dube thanked her partner for keeping all of his promises from day one.
