Women have been showing up on award-winning gospel musician Dumi Mkokstad‘s father’s doorstep in Mt Ayliff, Eastern Cape, claiming they are his wives, ever since he got married to his wife Dr Ziphozenkosi Nzimande (née Mthembu).

This is according to the Mbize hitmaker’s father, Falithenjwa Nzimande, who told Sunday World that he is concerned about his son.

Mkokstad – real name Mdumiseni Nzimande – married Dr Ziphozenkosi in June 2019. The pair share two children; a daughter born in 2022 and a son born in September this year.

 

 

 

The singer’s father says the first woman – who claimed to be from Sandton in Johannesburg – told him that she received a prophecy from her bishop that she was Mkokstad’s chosen wife. The woman said that artist is married to the wrong woman and that she is the right person for him.

“We contacted Dumi and he had no knowledge of the woman. We then took her to the police station for her safety.

“I believe she was sent back to Johannesburg and we’ve never heard of her since then.”

Last year, another woman, this time from East London, showed up and claimed she was Mkokstad’s wife. The woman also had a framed photo of herself and the musician which Nzimande suspects was shot at one of his son’s events. She was also taken to the police station for her safety.

Mkokstad told the publication that the last woman took it a step further when she was turned back by his dad and found her way to his wife’s family home in Pietermaritzburg, KwaZulu-Natal./
