Ndlozi left the EFF to focus on his academics, and in an interview with the SABC, he broke his silence about his resignation.

WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THIS?

Metro FM host Lerato Kganyago’s husband, Thami Ndlala, is trending after reportedly buying Pretoria’s famous mall, Sterland Mall.

The news of the purchase first made headlines last year when Lerato Kganyago revealed in an Instagram post shared on 4 September that the two had added several buildings and a mall to their property portfolio.

BUSINESS TYCOON THAMI NDLALA REPORTEDLY BUYS STERLAND MALL
However, against the news, the Metro FM host did not reveal the mall’s name but left her fans to guess. She only mentioned that t
 
he mall was in Pretoria.

The Metro FM radio host posted, “This year had a few challenges, personally… but we bought a few buildings and an entire mall in PTA!”

However, a few months after sharing the news, the media has since connected the dots about the new mall against Lerato Kganyago’s now-deleted Instagram Story.

She took to Instagram to share progress updates on the alleged mall. The award-winning radio host shared photos of Sterland Mall, now—Ndlala Mall by Thami Ndlala.

No doubt, the post alone left many convinced that the mall was the one Lerato Kganyago was referring to.

Despite the reports, Maphepha Ndaba seemingly confirmed the news. However, no official statement has been issued concerning the sale and new ownership of the mall.

BUSINESS PORTFOLIO, NET WORTH AND MORE
The news has since left many trying to connect about Thami Ndlala’s business empire, net worth and personal life.

According to reports, the celebrated businessman was born in the 80s in the Mpumalanga Province. Unconfirmed reports have it that he is the son of Chief Joe Ndlala.

Thami Ndlala has several businesses under his watch, most of them are under Ndalayemandla Group of Companies Limited.

The company offers several services across all business sectors thanks to its notable subsidiaries, including Thami Ndlala Holdings.

He is also said to have founded Adorantha Investments Limited, which reportedly provides health awareness and healthcare counselling.

However, despite being one of the most celebrated business moguls in South Africa, Thami Ndlala’s net worth is not known.

He has managed to keep it under wraps. However, rumour mill has it that he is a multimillionaire.

ARE YOU A FAN OF THAMI NDLALA?

Former Our Perfect Wedding presenter Thembisa Mdoda’s second marriage to Mfanelo Nxumalo, is on the cusp of disintegration after they failed to embrace its imperfections.

Sunday World can exclusively reveal that Nxumalo moved out of their matrimonial home in Fourways last year and lives in an apartment in Northcliff, northern Johannesburg.

 

 

 
Not only has he vacated their marital crib but he has also moved on with his life and has allegedly found a new flame.

Nxumalo and his new significant other have allegedly explored the mysteries of their bodies already, and the two are smitten with each other.

News that there is trouble in Mdoda and Nxumalo’s paradise was confirmed by two sources with intimate knowledge of the couple’s private life.

A deep throat, who did not want to be named for fear of victimisation, said Nxumalo and Mdoda acrimoniously quarrelled over his alleged cavalier association with randoms and his penchant for behaving almost like a bar lizard.

The deep throat also alleged that when Mdoda implored him to comport himself like a married man and refrain from his reckless association with randoms, he took umbrage, saying that he felt like she was henpecking him.

“He finally moved out of their home and went to live in an apartment in Northcliff,” said the mole.

The tipster also alleged that so intense was the breakup that the two were no longer on speaking terms.

“They are communicating via emails,” said the source.
The informer also said they had hoped the two would bury the hatchet and rekindle their love but they threw their hands in the air when Nxumalo did not show up for their child’s birthday party recently. They said it was an indication that divorce was on the horizon.

“Although he spent a lot of money on the party, DOP (Nxumalo) did not go to the birthday celebration; he stayed away. When you don’t show up at your child’s party, you must know that the animosity with your baby mama has reached its highest level,” said the source.

Another source also confirmed that Mdoda and Nxumalo had drifted apart. “The family has been informed about their separation; many people know about it, it is no longer a secret,” said the source.

**Speculation Surrounds MaKhwela and Snegugu’s Alleged Friendship**

Renowned polygamist and reality TV star Musa Mseleku has once again made headlines, this time for marrying his fifth wife, MaKhwela. However, what has sparked even more debate is the widespread speculation that MaKhwela and Mseleku’s eldest daughter, Snegugu, were friends before the marriage.

This controversy reportedly began on TikTok before spreading to other social media platforms. The claims suggest that MaKhwela and Snegugu had an existing friendship, though there is currently no concrete evidence to support this. While some find the alleged connection unsettling, others argue that there is nothing inappropriate about it.

 

 

 
## **Age Gap and Social Reactions**

One of the biggest talking points surrounding this marriage is the significant age gap between Musa Mseleku and MaKhwela. Addressing the issue, MaKhwela acknowledged the public’s curiosity but emphasized that she is a consenting adult. She made it clear that her relationship with Mseleku is her own personal decision.

However, she did not address the rumors regarding her and Snegugu’s alleged friendship. There is also no verifiable proof that the two women were close before MaKhwela’s marriage to Mseleku.

## **Cultural Perspectives on Relationships**

The ongoing discussions about this situation bring forward broader conversations about relationships, societal expectations, and how people react to unconventional unions. Critics argue that it would be inappropriate for a father to marry someone who was once close to his daughter. On the other hand, supporters claim that since both Mseleku and MaKhwela are consenting adults, their relationship should not be scrutinized so intensely.

This situation highlights how personal relationships, especially those involving public figures, often become the subject of intense public debate. The Mseleku family is no stranger to controversy, frequently finding themselves at the center of social media discussions. Platforms like TikTok and Twitter have played a significant role in amplifying conversations, sometimes fueling speculation with little to no factual basis.

## **The Role of Social Media in Shaping Public Perception**

In today’s digital age, rumors and theories can spread rapidly, especially when they involve well-known personalities. Mseleku, who has openly shared his polygamous lifestyle on television, has often faced both criticism and admiration for his choices. His latest marriage has only added to the ongoing discourse surrounding his personal life.

Many social media users have weighed in on the matter, with some criticizing the idea of a man marrying someone allegedly connected to his daughter. Others argue that personal choices should be respected, as long as they do not violate ethical or legal boundaries.

## **Conclusion: A Private Matter or Public Concern?**

While the debate continues, it is important to acknowledge that much of the speculation remains unverified. As it stands, MaKhwela’s marriage to Musa Mseleku is a private matter between two consenting adults. Any claims regarding her previous friendship with Snegugu remain unconfirmed.

Regardless of public opinion, the Mseleku family’s decisions will continue to attract attention, serving as a reflection of the broader conversations about relationships, tradition, and personal freedom in modern society.
