Popular South African rapper, media personality, reality TV star, and Instagram influencer Faith Nketsi is officially single. According to a local publication, the Have Faith star obtained a decree of divorce at the Johannesburg high court last week allowing her to remarry should she wish.
The publication further revealed that the court declared Nketsi’s divorce settlement proposal a permanent court order. The settlement was drafted on 12 October 2023.
Nketsi married controversial businessman Nzuzo Njilo in April 2022. However, after about a year later, she allegedly kicked him to the curb. This after he was accused and arrested on allegations of fraud.
“She can now get married again without committing bigamy; she is officially single and ready to love again,” said a source.
In November last year Nketsi made headlines after a source revealed that her estranged husband sold her car shortly after their traditional wedding and was not forthcoming about what he used the money for. The rapper alleged that her estranged husband was terrible at managing his finances, also accusing him of being dishonest.
Nketsi ended her relationship with Njilo in January this year. She reportedly lives with their daughter, Sky, at her house in Edenburg in Sandton. Meanwhile, Njilo is said to be living in a rented apartment in Midrand.
Another source revealed that last month, Nketsi instructed her lawyers to file the divorce papers.
Njilo and his business partner Kwanda Ntshangase were arrested in April this year on allegations of fraud.
According to a statement by KZN police spokesperson, Colonel Robert Netshiunda, Njilo and his accomplice reportedly masqueraded as salesmen who pretended to sell a truck in May 2021.
“The unsuspecting buyer allegedly went and physically viewed the truck at a dealership in Boksburg, Ekurhuleni, and later paid the two a substantial amount of money. The truck was never delivered,” read the statement.
Njilo was granted 30 000 in the same month of his arrest, while Ntshangase, received R3 000 bail.
