According to a source who spoke to the publication on condition of anonymity, Takkies, much like Phumeza Shoba, filed for divorce because of her husband’s infidelity. The source said Dinwiddy found someone after he and Nkateko Maswanganye relocated to London, United Kingdom.

“He strayed. He connected with someone else when they arrived in Europe,” the friend told Sunday World.

The friend claimed that Nkateko had given love another chance, saying:

“Takkies has moved on and is trying to adjust to new life. She is also dating again. She will be okay.”

Sunday World reports that Takkies is in a new relationship with a white man whom she has yet to make public.
