"Weird Take": Minnie Dlamini Admits Wedding Cost Over R1M and Her Reason for C-Section Sparks Debate

• Minnie Dlamini sat down with Thando Thabethe on 947 Drive and made a startling confession about who footed the bill for her fairy-tale wedding
• The TV personality also opened up about losing nearly R1 million in brand deals following a podcaster's comments about her personal life
• Minnie got emotional recalling the death of her brother and revealed she is still not legally divorced from her ex-husband

Minnie Dlamini dropped a bombshell during a candid sit-down with Thando Thabethe on 947 Drive, admitting that she personally covered the R1.5 million cost of her wedding. The total excluded sponsorships, and her then-husband did not contribute financially to the celebration.

When Thando pressed her on why her husband didn't chip in, Minnie's response was swift: "Next question." Viewers later paid attention to Minnie's tip about opting for a C-section over a natural birth to "keep it tight."

Minnie shared that she paid for half of her university fees herself while on a 50% scholarship, and also covered her now-late brother's aviation training costs as a condition of dropping out of university. She bought her first property at 20 or 21, a milestone she described as deeply personal. She said:

Minnie also addressed the ongoing legal battle stemming from a podcaster's remarks that she "can't keep a man," made after her split from Dr Brian Munisa. She revealed the fallout was financially devastating, costing her far more than the widely reported R897,000 loss. Brands quietly distanced themselves without giving direct reasons, with some telling her the "PR is not good right now." She is now seeking R2.5 million in compensation through an Equality Court complaint. "I didn't even lose that much. I lost a lot more," she said, adding that she didn't work for close to a year as a result.

She also confirmed she is still not legally divorced and has been single for some time since her relationship with Dr Munisa ended. Minnie also went into detail about how she met Itumeleng Khune, and they dated for nearly two years. Watch the full 947 Drive interview with Minnie Dlamini on TikTok:
