Welcome to the roller coaster ride that is Zandie Khumalo’s life! The sensational singer is about to embark on a new journey as her husband, Mhlo Gumede, takes a second wife. Marital bliss, household drama, and double Valentine’s gifts – what could go wrong?
Zandie Khumalo and Mhlo Gumede said their vows in 2016; ever since they’ve been rock-solid with a blessed child keeping them on their toes. However, it seems one wife won’t cut it for Mhlo, as he prepares to introduce a second Mrs. Gumede.
Polygamy, a practice commonly misunderstood in many parts of the world, is about to play out in the lives of this celebrity couple.

Zandie will soon plunge into the colourful tapestry of sharing her husband, facing a blend of competition, camaraderie, and collaboration. Will Zandie’s next album feature duets or diss tracks?
As the saying goes, “Two’s company, three’s a crowd,” but in Mhlo Gumede’s world, it’s double the joy.
According to reports, a close friend revealed that the new wife is the late Zanele Mbokazi’s niece and publicist, Nonjabulo Mdluli.
“The families have already met, and there was a welcoming ceremony that took place a few days before Zanele passed away,” the friend said.
Zandie, who is a sister to Kelly Khumalo revealed in a recent interview with the aforementioned publication that her home is opened to a second wife as she is African.
“I am an African and completely for iSthembu, ngikhulele khona esithenjini (I grew up in a polygamous home) through my grandfather. I am here kwa Gumede ukuzokwakha umuzi (to build the Gumede name) and uGumede is the leader and the head of this family,” Zandie said.
“I take direction from him’ my husband loves me dearly and I love him even. I love that man, and I care about him, and I want nothing bad to happen to him,’ she adds. “If egula nami ngiyagula (he is sick, then I also get ill), even abakhongi mabefika ekhaya (the lobola negotiators) they did ask that I leave the door open as a second wife might need to enter at some point.”
Zandie Khumalo further made comment about the alleged new wife.
“I wouldn’t want to comment about Nonjabulo, she is going through a difficult time at the moment and as a family, we support her fully during this grieving period and I shared that on my social media,’ Zandi said.
“Whether this story is true or not it’s a family matter but nje kuba mnandi manibaningi ekhaya mukhulu nalomuzi wakwa Gumede (It’s nice when you have a sister wife and the Gumede house is big) I need all the help I can get.’
