'I let everyone down': Kgolo Mthembu apologises for CHEATING on wife
Kgolo Mthembu apologised to Annie Mthembu after she sat down with podcaster Lungelo KM on an episode of Engineer Your Life to chat about why their marriage ended.
This was the first time that Annie has openly spoken out about her split from Kgolo.
Following the release of the episode on Tuesday this week, Kgolo took to the comments section of a TikTok post to express that he regrets the pain he caused Annie.
He went on to add that he wishes her true love, healing and peace.
'No matter the personal struggles I was facing, there's never an excuse for dishonoring Gods blessings. I deeply regret the pain I've caused you,' he wrote in the comments section of a TikTok post.
'As the head of the family, I let everyone down. Annie from the bottom of my heart, I wish you true love, healing and peace. Farewell, pretty wings,' he continued.
Annie revealed that Kgolo cheated on her during their marriage.
The pair met in 2016 and tied the knot in 2021 at La Paris Estate in Franschhoek in the Western Cape.
Kgolo was featured on the Real Housewives of Durban , where Annie was one of the housewives.
The pair have a pair of Irish twins together.
'No one likes being cheated on. It makes you question yourself a lot,' she said.
'Admitting I was being cheated on felt like saying I wasn't good enough. People told me things – some true, some not. When you don't know what to believe, you start losing your mind. I was highly embarrassed. I wasn't in a good place,' she continued.
Annie also shared that she tried to save her marriage in order to protect her family.

Tearful Glen Gabela pleads for help as fridge lies empty
Former Uzalo actor Glen Gabela has become the latest South African star to appeal for donations after falling on hard times. Gabela, who portrayed Pastor Mdletshe on the popular SABC1 soapie, shared a heartfelt plea in a video circulating on social media. In the emotional clip, Glen tearfully asks for assistance, showing his nearly empty fridge, which contains nothing but containers of water. 'I want a decent life, to be treated with dignity like every normal person. That's why I am reaching out. I'm trying to engage with people because I want to grow the film industry, so that young and upcoming performers don't end up like us,' he said 'You listen to the stories of top actors when they pass [away], you listen to the stories told and how they struggled. Almost all of us, when we reach this age, reach a stage where we … it's a pity I am not able to ask for help. It's hard for me to ask for help. That's all I need, just to live decently, I don't need to be rich, I just need to live a decent life,' he added. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sannah Mcunu (@sanamchunu7) Another star who recently spoke out about her financial challenges is veteran actress Nandi Nyembe. The 55-year-old bravely opened up in an emotional video shared by Masingita Masunga from the Above Normal Foundation. In the video, Nandi shared that she has faced financial struggles, particularly after paying R88,000 for her son's medical care. 'From the money I've worked for, my son got sick. I don't have money. How are you going to get medical aid when you don't have money? I tried to get a company that's a bit cheaper. What are you going to pay it with every month?' Some artists who have previously come out to plead for help due to financial difficulties include Pebetsi Matlaila, Dr Malinga, Zahara, Brenda Ngxoli, Carla Radebe, and Vusi Thanda.

Durban North couple to represent SA at international dance championships
WHAT began as choreographed dance lessons leading up to their special day has turned into a 26-year dance odyssey, taking Durban couple Mark and Edlena, from local halls to some of the most prestigious ballrooms in the world; and soon, to Tokyo for the World Championships. Also read: Book fair in uMhlanga grows from grassroots to global stage 'He (Mark) didn't want to 'just shuffle about the dancefloor'. Two years later our teacher entered us into a competition. Mark refused at first, but I persuaded him,' said Edlena. To their surprise, they waltzed away with first place and two tiny silver trophies. The bug had bitten and there was no turning back. From then on, they practised more, took extra lessons, and poured their energy into their sport. Edlena even danced through all three of her pregnancies, stopping only briefly and returning to the studio with a pram in tow. Their three sons grew up surrounded by music, culture, and the disciplined artistry of ballroom. The couple has since competed at the legendary Blackpool British Open Championships five times and proudly represented South Africa in Canada, Belgium, and Spain. This year marks a new chapter: after turning professional in December 2024, under the guidance of coach Daryl Bennewith, they qualified to represent South Africa at the World Championships in Tokyo in October. 'It's the opportunity of a lifetime to compete against the very best in the world. We're proud to represent all the federations that have supported us, especially SADF. This is a career highlight,' said Edlena. As self-funded athletes, every trip, costume, and entry fee comes from their own pockets. Mark runs his architectural business, and Edlena owns a beauty salon — both working extra hours to cover the costs of international competition. 'It takes resilience to keep going while maintaining a household but it's worth it. Ballroom requires discipline, respect, and patience,' she said. 'It's taken us around the world and brought lifelong friends into our lives. Our sons have always been our biggest supporters. We're a creative, cultural family. 'Dance is a stress release and lifts your spirits. It's never too early or too late to start. Motion is lotion! Commit to a style you enjoy, and keep going,' she advises aspiring dancers. As they prepare for Tokyo, the couple is calling on the community for support through social media shares, or cheering them on from afar. 'Every bit of backing means the world to us. We'll carry the South African flag with pride.' For more from Northglen News, follow us on Facebook, X or Instagram. You can also check out our videos on our YouTube channel or follow us on TikTok.
