Rebecca Malope, who was at the peak of her game in the 1990s, remained celibate for an extended period of time. She appears to be the type of Christian woman who believes having sexual relations before marriage is forbidden. She stated that she got several marriage proposals, but she declined them because she was afraid of marriage due to her harsh upbringing; her father mistreated her mother. It was revealed in 2012 that she had found a man worth her drams and had even paid lobola, despite extensive media coverage.

 

 

 

When the fact that Rebecca Malope was married resurfaced again a year ago, many were surprised, and she stated that they had been married for a long time. The fortunate man in her life is an entrepreneur by the name of Themba Tshabalala.

Themba Tshabalala and Rebecca were friends for a year prior to forming a connection that ultimately led to their marriage. She stated, “Being companions in the past helped both of them get to know each other better before they tried something else.” She cherished the notion that he cared for and supported her.

Rebecca did not have children of her own, but when her sister Cynthia died in 1996, she adopted her three children, Zweli, Noluthando, and Thandeka.
