An old interview of Khanyi Mbau resurfaced and ignited a fierce debate about her marriage to the late Mandla Mthembu.
The actress was in a high-profile relationship with the controversial businessman in her late teens, in which she was spoiled with lavish cars and all the diamonds she could ask for, thus earning the title of Queen of Bling.
Khanyi revealed during a conversation with Anele Mdoda on 1 June 2017 that she had always wanted to discuss their controversial age gap and ask if her ex knew at the time that she was just 19 years old.

"I'm 32 years old, I would never date a 21-year-old because the conversations would never be the same. Mandla was 30 years older than me. What did he possibly think he would get out of me? He went to prison when he was 22 years old, his life was put on hold, and he was living his 22-year-old life through me. It wasn't a relationship."
According to Briefly News, the couple had a lavish wedding ceremony in 2006 when Khanyi was 21, and they later had a child together named Khanukani. However, the former Muvhango actress, who recently celebrated her 40th birthday, revealed that she and he ex never had any meaningful conversations.
Khanyi explained that their discussions were superficial and had very little to do with their emotional connection, focusing instead on material matters.
"All I remember is us deciding on colour, where to eat, the cars, arguing about being in the same car because we don't like the same music, but we never had conversations. It was always about money; we've never had a heart-to-heart conversation. The only real conversation was when we conceived our daughter."

Later in the conversation, Khanyi revealed how her ex-hubby swept her off her feet from their very first date, with breakfast dates, visits to the lavish Melrose Arch, and even sending a pharmacist to her home when she had the flu!
Like clockwork, the online community did not waste time in sharing their unfiltered opinions about the couple's marriage.
