The acting community has been rocked by reports of a domestic dispute involving veteran actor Sello Maake kaNcube and his wife, Pearl Mbewe Maake kaNcube, who also serves as his manager. According to sources, the couple was involved in a heated altercation during their attendance at the Grahamstown Arts Festival in the Eastern Cape, where Sello was performing in the stage play “The Suit.”
The incident reportedly occurred when the couple returned to their hotel, with the source claiming that Pearl was “screaming and swearing at Sello.” The following morning, Pearl was said to have been seen with a black eye and broken lips, indicating that the situation had turned physical. The source further stated that Sello had left his wife behind while she was still suffering from the aftermath of the altercation, though the specific details and the reason for the fight remain unclear.
“Pearl was screaming and swearing at Sello. The next morning, she appeared with a black eye and broken lips,” the source said.
“The situation is so bad that Sello left his wife behind while she was suffering from pain after the altercation. We don’t know the reason for the latest fight,” added the friend.
Adding to the complexity of the situation, another source has suggested that the couple maintains a united front in public, with Pearl allegedly having the ability to sway public perception and portray Sello as the “villain” in their relationship. This claim has been met with a firm denial from Pearl, who has expressed frustration at the persistent leaks of information regarding their personal matters.
Pearl said:
“Why is it that every time something is happening between my husband and I, there are sources who are telling you our problems.”
The reports of domestic violence come just months after rumors of the couple’s separation and impending divorce, which were subsequently refuted by the couple themselves in a series of social media posts. In a lengthy Facebook message, Pearl expressed unwavering love and support for her husband, describing him as a “good man” and defending him against the public scrutiny.
“You have been to me what the world will never even begin to understand.How I wish people could just and give you a break. In what may seem like me coming to your defense, the truth is being with you has elevated me to heights I never thought possible. I’m sending you love and strength in this trying time of our lives. I will forever love you and your spirit shall and will remain unshaken. YOU ARE A GOOD MAN. Father, son and a sibling. More than anything, you have been a beautiful and wonderful husband," she said
As the details of this incident continue to unfold, the acting community and the public at large await further clarification and resolution to this complex and sensitive situation. The potential impact on Sello Maake kaNcube’s career and the couple’s personal lives remains to be seen, underscoring the delicate nature of such allegations and the importance of respecting the privacy of those involved.
