@LethaboS2 commented:
"Tumi & Mandla broke up a few years ago, and there were even some court cases after the breakup."
@lelo_mkhondo responded:
"And all along I thought they were married kanti nope because guy never wanted to get married, now he's getting married."
@NdouRocca replied:
"It's not like loving a woman in her lowest, they are rewards. Men take a lot of women to school, and after a woman gets a job, she leaves for someone else. Talk about double standards. It's only okay for a woman to leave a man, but not okay when a man leaves."
@RealMadamCoco stated:
"Men are levelling UP now. Mandla said New woman, new energy. Men go for the connected ones now."
@KoyiXolani shared:
"The reason they broke up is that Tumi stole money from their company of which led to it affecting the relationship, and y’all are ignoring that fact…"
