Over the past weekend, businessman Veli Ngubane and TV presenter Palesa Tembe captured social media attention with their extravagant engagement. The couple spared no expenses, showcasing a lavish proposal featuring a helicopter ride, a grand white piano, and beautiful roses. However, behind the glitz and glamour, drama unfolded involving Ngubane’s ex-fiancée, Real Housewives of Johannesburg’s Nicole Watson, known as Nicci Lee, who recently joined the show as a new cast member. The unexpected turn of events surrounding their relationship has become a topic of interest for fans.
Insiders reveal that Ngubane and Watson were initially expected to appear together on the reality show, working as a family to resolve past issues. However, circumstances changed, leading to their separation, which viewers will witness as the show unfolds. According to a source, Ngubane had initially agreed to participate but backed out on the day of the shoot. Watson confirms their split and expresses her fatigue with people checking up on her, emphasizing that she has moved on and wishes Ngubane and Tembe the best.
Ngubane and Watson’s breakup caught many by surprise, as they were actively working on repairing their relationship. When Ngubane fell ill after surgery, Watson nursed him back to health, but once he recovered, he returned to Tembe, revealing where his true affections lay. Although Ngubane won’t be appearing on the reality show, Watson’s storyline revolves around their relationship, even though the direction had to be altered at the last minute. She frequently mentions Ngubane’s name, indicating the lingering impact he has had on her life.
Ngubane and Tembe’s engagement took place at the Quoin Rock Wine Lounge in Stellenbosch, captivating audiences with its opulence and glamour. The couple shares a child together, adding further complexity to the situation. Watson’s response to Ngubane and Tembe’s impending nuptials has garnered little sympathy from viewers, as she had previously stated her intention to end the relationship on the latest episode of RHOJ.
Watson maintains that her chapter with Ngubane is closed, urging people to let go of the past and focus on the future. She explains that rushing into marriage without resolving serious underlying issues was not the right course of action. Despite the drama, Ngubane and Tembe’s love story prevailed, as Ngubane ultimately chose Tembe, solidifying their engagement.
