Husband
Zinhle Mabena was previously married to the businessman Robert Ngwenya. But the two are now divorced. They had dated for several months and then got married in a secret wedding in 2017.

While most of her fans didn’t know about the marriage, the actress teased that reality on her birthday in a post she shared on Instagram. However, she only made their relationship Instagram official a year later, in 2018.Parents
Zinhle Mabena is the product of a Ndebele father and a Zulu mother. Her father passed when she was a kid. The last of three kids, Zinhle Mabena, was raised by a single mother. She’s said to have a deep bond with her mother.

House
The actress lived with her then-husband Robert Ngwenya in a 7 million home in Midrand, Johannesburg. The businessman had reportedly taken a loan to buy the house and defaulted in repayment soon after, invariably bringing up the specter of the repo man.
Child
Zinhle Mabena had a daughter and a son from her relationship with Robert Ngwenya. The businessman had three children from a previous relationship at the time, so the actress was more like a stepmother to them.

Car Accident
Years ago, in 2021, Zinhle Mabena was involved in an accident that left two persons dead. She was reportedly driving herself home in the Centurion area after getting drunk during a wild party with friends.She had a head-on collision in Boksburg with a Corolla. Two persons died in the accident, and one was disabled for life. Zinhle Mabena was found unconscious. Her then-husband Robert Ngwenya had arrived at the scene and taken her to the hospital.

The case has been rushed for years, with the family f the victims reportedly still fighting to get justice. By the way, although the car was insured by the Alexander Forbes Group and Business Insurance under Robert Ngwenya’s name, the insurance company refused to pay because she was driving above the speed limit and was under the influence.

Robert Ngwenya Story
In May 2018, in posts on His Facebook page, Robert Ngwenya noted that he’s been receiving death threats. He said it might be connected to his philanthropy.

According to reports, three gunmen had ambushed Robert Ngwenya in 2018 and rained bullets in his vehicle while he was still inside. Reacting to the incident, he noted that they wanted to kill him, but he wouldn’t give them the satisfaction that he’s scared of them.

He thanked God that he survived the shooting, noting justice must be done in the case, with the perpetrators arrested.

Thanks to the evolution of social media, the different worlds have never been more connected.

While having access to friends and family with just one click is amazing, it has also opened the door for a lot of fights and arguments between people from different countries.

Here is all you need to know about the man of the moment, Sanka from etvScandal.#StevelMarc

Model-cum-actor Stevel Marc is set to debut his most charming and dubious role yet on daily drama Scandal!.

The 40-year-old Jamaican-born star is coming off making a huge splash as Yasopp in the international adventure series, One Piece, which in August delivered impressive ratings for Netflix’s debut records that Stranger Things and Wednesday previously set. The series was filmed in Cape Town, with appearances by other SA-based actors Ntlanhla Morgan Kutu, Chioma Umeala and Nicole Fortuin.


 

 

 

Tonight, Marc will make his debut on the e.tv soapie as Sanka Myrie, a character that allowed him to act and speak in English while mixing with his mother tongue of Jamaican patois.

“What I love most about this role is that the production gave me the freedom to breath life into this role. They wanted me to translate it as best and as authentic as possible by allowing me to speak in Jamaican,” he said.

“Sanka is like one of the most misunderstood people in society. He brings more of a realistic aspect to the circles he is in. Yes, he will bring commotion to someone’s marriage but he feels that one has to follow their heart to be with the person who makes them feel whole… I guess viewers will have to see what else unfolds.”

Marc grew up in Portland, Jamaica. His first feature film role was in the internationally acclaimed Of Good Report, followed by other prolific productions such as The Mauritanian, Happiness Is a Four-letter Word and Black Sails.

“I’ve been calling SA my home for 20 years. I can be in SA for six months and then head out to LA for another six months. I usually come back here because of the acting and modelling gigs my agent lands me,” he said.

“I’ve embraced how I always get gigs that bring me back here, a place I call home.”

Before his acting career took off, Marc first moved to SA when he was 16 in 2001 for his very first modelling gig.

“I remember being in awe of this country the first time I came here. I was just a teen who was from Jamaica and America. I remember thinking how slow everything this side was because I was from a fast-paced world [US] and somehow, I recall telling myself to embrace the experience and the warm and loving people out here,” he said.

“I joined the South African modelling industry when it was starting to take form. At the time it was an emerging market and I was in a great spot to be in. I went from shooting magazine adverts to television commercials.

“I grew from commercials to having roles on television and film… I actually tend to think all these skill sets that I acquired opened the doors to the other.”
