Dintle decides to put herself on the line. Love is in the air, but for some it comes with rules and regulations. Jakes is somewhat armed and ready for war.

TV personalities Motlatsi Mafatshe and Gabisile Tshabalala are addressing the “backlash” the couple has received over their relationship following speculations that the pair left their respective partners for each other.

In the latest episode of their newly launched YouTube channel “Gabi & Mo”, titled “Why We Divorced (part 1)”, the duo confirmed that although they’ve known each other for years, they started dating just over a year ago.

 

 

“There was a rumour saying that we left our partners for us to be with each other,” said Tshabalala.

“I think most of the backlash is on me because it looks like I came into his marriage and messed things up for him,” added the star.

The pair said that they anticipated the hate or negativity towards the relationship when they started dating, and “when we did, I think God had already prepared my heart”.“I did not leave my ex-husband for Motlatsi. I left because the marriage wasn’t working out. We tried everything, we tried impepho, we tried prayer. I gave it my all, and I don’t regret anything.

“Things did not work out. He’s not a bad person. We were just not meant to be together.

Tshabala further explained that although she has no regrets about her previous marriage, she was married to a “narcissist”.

“I discovered that I was married to a narcissistic person. I gave my all, but nothing was satisfying him. Nothing was ever enough. And I started making peace with it. So it had to end.

The “Black Door” actress was married for seven years and has two children with her former husband.

Echoing this, the “House of Zwide” star said he doesn’t have any regrets and when he realised that he was not happy in his marriage, he opted out.

“In my case, I felt like a mutual thing, and no one had the guts to go ‘let’s jump’. At some point, I think the love kind of ended.

“Right now, I’m very happy. She makes me happy,” said Mafatshe, making reference to Tshabalala.

The pair insisted that their precious marriages have not deterred them from wanting to tie the knot again.

“Do I believe in marriage, and would I do it again? Definitely, I believe in the institution of marriage, and we share the same sentiments.

“Through you, I saw God. You reminded me of God and how I liked that space because you are such a God-fearing woman. I was like God is repairing me, would I do it again (marry), without a blink of an eye,” added Mafatshe.Mafatshe said he had a crush on Tshabalala when she started in the industry nearly a decade ago.

“I liked her and asked her out, and she said no,” recalled Mafatshe.

“He was old,” said Gabi. I was 19, and he was 26.

“And I didn’t want to date anyone in the industry, and I did find him very old. Now he’s a cool guy. He’s not old anymore, and he’s my type.”

Mafatshe jokingly said he suspected that Tshabalala rejected him because he was a struggling actor at the time.

“I didn’t represent a guy who appeared on TV. I drove a Tazz, but that’s all I could afford.”

Mbongeni Ngema, writer of the acclaimed musical “Sarafina” about student riots in apartheid Soweto, was killed in a car crsh on Wednesday at the age of 68, his family announced.

Ngema died just as the 1992 movie, developed with legendary jazz musician Hugh Masekela, was making a return with a screening at this year’s Cannes film festival classic section and a streaming release.“It is with heavy hearts that we announce the sudden passing of our beloved brother, father, husband and a patriot, Mbongeni Ngema,” the family said in a statement.

 

“Ngema was killed in a head-on car accident whilst returning from attending a funeral” in Eastern Cape province, the statement added. He was a passenger in the vehicle.

“Sarafina” made Ngema a pan-African music star. A stage version had earlier played on New York’s Broadway for two years. It was nominated for Tony and Grammy awards.
The film starred Leleti Khumalo, who had been in the stage version and later married Ngema, and Whoopi Goldberg.

Ngema also co-wrote the 1981 play “Woza Albert” with Percy Mtwa and Barney Simon. A satirical look at the plight of black people in white-dominated South Africa, the play toured Europe and North America.
His works “reflected the spirit of resistance” during the “apartheid and liberation struggle”, the family said.

Ngema was also an actor, choreographer, composer and singer. His hit songs included “Stimela sa se Zola”, also made with Masekela.
