Edwin Sodi’s prior girlfriends have come up about their relationships…and what drew them to the affluent businessman. This week, the contentious public figure made news after being linked to another female celebrity, Minnie Dlamini, a TV presenter and media personality. Dlamini allegedly had an affair with Sodi while married to Quinton Jones, according to tweets by the under-fire celebrity gossip blogger Musa Khawula. In an official statement made on social media on Wednesday, May 11th, the media celebrity disputed the charges, stating they are “false, hurtful, and vicious,” and that legal action will be pursued.

Edwin Soi’s business activities have gotten him in trouble, but so has his personal life. According to Sowetan Live, the 49-year-old businessman was arrested in 2020 on charges of corruption, fraud, and money laundering. According to Sunday World, the ANC’s “tenderpreneur” has six children with numerous unknown women. He is divorced from his Capricorn FM host wife, Nthateng Lerata, and has dated a slew of stunning women, including Nokukhanya Karen Zulu, Kat Ncala, and Kefilwe Mabote.
Musa Khawula released a “kill list” of women associated to Edwin earlier this week. Mihlali Ndamase, Thuli Phongolo, Lizelle Tabane, and others are said to be among them. In recent social media posts, Thuli and Mihlali have dismissed the rumors. In addition, Edwin is accused of having affairs with Proverb’s and DJ Sbu’s former spouses, Onalerona Thekiso and Disebo Makatsa, in 2015. Proverb told Sunday Sun that his wife had an affair with Sodi, and Sodi told Sunday World that he was seeing Disebo.
Two ex-girlfriends spoke to City Press anonymously this week about their romances with Sodi. During their courtship, one of the women said that the billionaire was generous, offering them business contracts and the chance to drive his expensive vehicles. “When you are associated with him,” she continued, “he is a great person.” “There is more to the relationship, especially if you are business-minded and not just looking for romance,” she continued. He will provide you with an opportunity to advance in your career.
“What I know is that he does not give money to the majority of the women with whom he has had relationships. You will only be given a business opportunity. “I know one of the ladies, who is also on the list posted on social media the other day, once said, ‘Thank you babe for the water and sanitation contract,’ and everyone was attacking her because Edwin is currently undergoing these legal cases (alone),” and everyone was attacking her.” “He’ll never buy you a car, but he’ll let you drive his.” For a while, I drove his G-Wagon and also drove his BMW.”
The other woman, who claims to have a child with Sodi, claimed to receive a sizable monthly child support payment. “My maintenance gets R60 000 a month, which includes my rent for where I stay,” she explained. I pay R16 000 a month to my nanny, who is also our night nurse.”
