Pearl Mbewe took to her X account on Sunday, 6 April, to clear the air. In a post on X, she clarified that Sello Maake kaNcube’s other former wife, Palesa Mboweni, had won the suit. Mbewe disclosed that her divorce from the Skeem Saam actor isn't yet official. Despite this, Pearl Mbewe celebrated Mboweni’s victory as her own, saying:
“Only it’s not ME. It’s the ex-wife before ME. My divorce is not yet finalised, that’s all I can say for now. Anyway… Any Woman’s win is a victory for me too😊 🍾 🥂 @SundayWorldZA please provide clarity on which wife you’re referring to. ☝🏽”
Netizens react to Pearl Mbewe's clarification
In the comments, netizens accused Pearl Mbewe of seeking attention. Others advised Sello Maake kaNcube to learn from Lebo M.
Here are some of the reactions:
@Owomthetho argued:
"But that’s what the headline says, “the ex-wife”, it never implied it was you. I mean you said it yourself that your divorce is not yet finalised, therefore, you are still his wife. So, what point were you trying to make here? 🤔"
@Lecheadi advised:
“Marrying in community of property when you are prone to divorce is pure madness. They must learn from Lebo M.”
@FrankTa72625105 asked:
“So any woman's victory is yours even if that woman is wrong?”
@_ulambish suggested:
“By the time your matter comes before the courts, he will have nothing to offer you. Perhaps he could come work in your garden to pay off his debts?”
@Coach_Nqo said:
“A brother losing his estate is a 'win', you’re celebrating? That’s another level of wickedness.”
