Buhle Mkhize’s husband
Many people are wondering whether Buhle Mkhize is married or not. To those of you following her on Instagram, you might have seen some funny posts and exchanges 2 years ago. The exchange was between her and Norma—wife to Malusi Gigaba. It is alleged that Buhle was having an affair with the Home Affairs Minister, Mulusi Gigaba.
Precisely, there is little known regarding her marital status maybe because she is lately staying in New York. Also, she has never posted any man on her Instagram page since the claim surfaced.

Buhle Mkhize’s rumour and video
Fame has its consequences. Despite the struggles to promote her businesses and career, Buhle has had it rough with Norma. The Home Affairs minister admitted to his wife that she had an affair with Buhle Mkhize on their honeymoon. The angry wife took it to social media where she called Buhle derogatory names. In one of Norma's post, she called Buhle, a prostitute. This did not go well with the fashionista. Buhle retaliated, and the mess was so bad that she had to quit social media for about a year.
There is every reason to believe that Mulusi Gigaba took advantage of the fashion super-star. On realizing the fight between the two women, he came out to address the matter while siding with Norma. He alleged that Buhle was obsessed with his family. However, in an interview with Sunday Tribune, Norma admitted that her husband had sex with Mkhize and he was trying to cover it up.

What is even more shocking is that Buhle Mkhize did not deny the allegations. She said she had already moved on with her life and so does she wanted Norma to do. On a tweet, she threatened Mulusi that she was to expose more details about the affair and other secrets if he did not stop her wife. She only got mad on Norma because she called her a prostitute. In addition, she felt bitter because Norma called her “plastic” and yet she advocates for natural skin care. I suppose this is the reason why she leaked a video of Norma Gigaba and Atul Gupta in a storeroom.
Undeniably, Buhle Mkhize is a role model to many young girls in South Africa and the world. She has worked hard to attain what she has because she believes in herself. It seems like the controversies surrounding her had little impact on her career—instead, they strengthened her. She is proof that one’s background does not matter in the journey of success.
