DIVORCE RUMOURS
Their posts come a week after Sunday World reported that the former The Herd actor and his wife have separated.
A source told the publication that the pair – who got married in 2021 – argued about Maake kaNcube’s alleged former partner, resulting in the actor chasing Mbewe out of their marital home in Dube, Soweto.
After Maake kaNcube’s wife moved out, the actor reportedly tried to rekindle their flame by sending a delegation to pay the remaining lobola for her. However, Mbewe rejected his advances.
Upon failing to win Mbewe back, the actor contacted Swanepoel van Zyl Attorneys to help him file for divorce. The firm reportedly wanted R25 000 payment upfront.
Speaking to Sunday World, Maake KaNcube confirmed contacting the law firm.
“I have not even paid them yet,” he said.
Maake KaNcube was previously married to Palesa Mboweni, with whom he tied the knot in 2015 but divorced eight months later – according to TshisaLIVE.
