Lady leaves 3-week-old marriage 

A young South African woman from the Eastern Cape, Nangobabalo Magazi, captured the attention of thousands of people when she hopped on a TikTok trend. The viral game exposed her three-week-old marriage to a man 10 years older than her.

Magazi was 20 years old when she married a man she had been dating for a couple of months. On Monday, the youngster explained why she had to break things off before she lost herself.

Her then-husband showed signs of cheating and would hop on late-night calls with another woman. Magazi tried to brush it off, but it eventually got to her to eventually.

The man would also get drunk and become abusive towards his wife, but then pretend as if nothing had happened the next day. This was the first red flag.

Before she got married, the couple agreed that the 20-year-old would go back to school. Things got ugly when her husband changed his mind and wanted her to be a housewife.

Magazi vented about her situation to her aunt, who understood her. The youngster packed her bags after 21 days of marriage and went back home:

“I did not want to wait for another three years or until I had three kids with him for me to leave him. My family did not even return their lobola.”
