In what should be the most joyous time of her life, actress Kwezi Ndlovu finds herself navigating a storm of rumors and misconceptions that have surfaced on social media following her recent marriage. The former star of Umkhokha: The Curse celebrated the first part of her wedding over the weekend, officially tying the knot with Durban businessman Sibongiseni Mageza Mbambo. Known for his successful ventures, including the popular Mushroom Lounge located at 16 Chartwell Drive, Mbambo is a prominent figure in the local business community.
Kwezi Ndlovu is no stranger to the spotlight, having built a remarkable career in the South African television industry. She has graced the screens in notable series such as Isithembiso, Housekeepers, and Rockville, winning the hearts of many with her talent. Her portrayal of Nobuntu in Umkhokha: The Curse left a lasting impression before she exited the show after her pregnancy a year ago, making way for actress Kwanele Mthethwa.
However, Kwezi’s wedding festivities were overshadowed by unfounded rumors and criticisms. Some social media users questioned her choice to wear Xhosa traditional attire, given her Zulu heritage and that she is marrying a Zulu man. Additionally, controversial blogger Musa Khawula took to Twitter to allege that Kwezi had “stolen” Mbambo from her friend, claiming that he was an absent father to 17 children.
In response to these damaging rumors, Kwezi took to Twitter to set the record straight. In her statement, she revealed that her mother is Xhosa, which explains her choice to honor that culture during her wedding celebrations. This clarification not only highlights the importance of cultural identity but also underscores the rich tapestry of South African heritage.
Furthermore, Kwezi addressed the allegations regarding her relationship with Mbambo. She firmly stated that he was not married to anyone prior to their union, dispelling the notion that their relationship began under dubious circumstances. Kwezi also clarified her connection to Tina Mbambo, asserting that Tina is actually married to Mbambo’s brother, further debunking the claims of infidelity.
As Kwezi Ndlovu embarks on this new chapter of her life, it is essential to recognize the impact of social media rumors and the importance of supporting public figures during their personal milestones. Kwezi’s journey serves as a reminder that love and commitment should be celebrated, not scrutinized. With her talent and resilience, Kwezi is poised to continue captivating audiences while embracing her new role as a wife.
