Radio guru Given Mkhari reportedly dumped his wife, Ipeleng Mkhari, after 21 years of marriage.
The media mogul, who previously had a feud with former Power FM host JJ Tabane, is reportedly no longer living with his wife.
Mkhari, who previously made headlines when he hired Mbuyiseni Ndlozi at Power FM, reportedly separated from his wife in November 2024.
Sunday World reported on Sunday, 14 September 2025, that Given dumped Ipeleng after he complained about how she's been treating him.
A source close to the couple shared with the publication that Mkhari told his wife to serve him with divorce papers or he would do so himself. The businesswoman has reportedly moved out of their home and lives in Gauteng alone.
Another mole said: "She had told us that she and Given had broken up, and she had moved out of their crib."
The insider adds that the couple's children are aware of their separation, and they will soon be heading for a divorce.
The Capricorn FM boss shared on his Instagram account in March 2022 that he and Ipeleng had been married for 17 years and had been together for 21 years.
"21 years together, 17 years married, and still the champion of my heart. Happy anniversary, nkatanga. Thank you for loving me, and for believing in us throughout the years," he wrote.

"Given and Ipeleng Mkhari seem to be living happily away from the judgmental eyes of social media. Once upon a time, 'family experts' here who are single once said Ausi Ipeleng should leave her husband."
@chrisndala1 reacted:
"Thanks for being man enough to acknowledge and take responsibility. Your haters are trying to have a field day regarding this matter; you've got my support."

"Both of you have my support in these trying times. You both know what happened, and may you find a place in your heart to forgive each other. And, let it never happen again."
