Another day, another scandal involving Lerato Kganyago's husband, Thami Ndlala. However, the radio personality is choosing to protect her peace.

Ndlala is accused of owing millions in water and electricity bills for his mall, Ndlala Mall and Hotel Apartments. This, as reported by the Mayor of Tshwane, Dr Nasiphi Moya.

However, even this was not enough to stop the Metro FM host from enjoying some much-needed R and R.

Taking to her Instagram stories on Tuesday, 13 January 2026, Lerato filmed her nail appointment where she had her technician switch from red to her signature baby pink.

"Only lasted a week. They have to go."

The post followed Lerato's congratulatory message for the matric class of 2025 after the results were released. And while her updates remained lighthearted and cheerful, the tone was different on X (officially Twitter) as a discussion intensified over her husband’s business dealings.

Briefly News understands that the City of Tshwane had the lights from Ndlala Mall and Hotel Apartments switched off in December 2025 over nonpayment. Dr Moya revealed that the mall owed over R600,000 to the City and an additional R1 million plus for water.

They returned to the property on Monday, 12 January, claiming that the water and electricity had been reconnected unlawfully without the massive debt being settled.

Ndlala Mall and Hotel Apartments is the same establishment that booked American singers Tank and, later, Donell Jones and Joe Thomas to perform at their grand opening.
