Lekompo star Shandesh is reportedly facing a major relationship crisis after explosive cheating allegations sent shockwaves through the internet.

The drama erupted after a woman with the social media handle theselfmadebarb took to her pages on 14 April 2026 to detail a scandalous affair with Shandesh's fiancée, Mimi Mogale.

The mistress alleges that Shandesh has been manipulating Mimi throughout their relationship, even going as far as controlling her finances and keeping her clothes.

Not only that, but she also dropped a bombshell about the Sdudla Slender hitmaker seeing men behind her girlfriend's back, asserting that Shandesh is "not fully gay" and is merely dating Mimi for content and to boost her professional brand.

theselfmadebarb further alleges she has had to travel between Sandton and Polokwane on several occasions to pick up Mimi whenever she found out about Shandesh's affairs, often washing and ironing her clothes while comforting her through the heartache.

She accused Mimi of using her for emotional support, only for her to return to her famous partner's arms after being lured in with luxury gifts.

"What I hate is someone who will treat me horribly when they think it's convenient."

The exposé comes on the heels of rumours that the couple has called it quits, just months after hinting at an engagement.

According to the former mistress, although her fling with Mimi supposedly wrapped up in 2025, she warned that she has plenty of tea left to spill. She took a sharp jab at Mimi, urging her to stay in her "miserable relationship" and keep up the "act," cautioning her not to push her buttons or risk further exposure.
