Watch: Reality TV star tears up in Facebook video during eviction drama
Chaos erupted on Facebook as Pastors' Wives reality television star Nandipha Mlombi, popularly known as Queen Nandi, went live, in tears, claiming she was being forcibly removed from her rented Lonehill home, while her children were locked inside. Read more: Human rights need to come first in evictions In the video, which is now circulating online, Queen Nandi alleged that she paid her rent, but was being evicted by 'thugs' allegedly sent by the landlord. She said she unknowingly rented the property from a woman who allegedly hijacked the building. 'I didn't know. She said it was her house, and now, because she's hijacking the building, she's got thugs to come take out my furniture. 'Now, they've locked me out of this house, while some of my stuff is in there, including my children. My children are in there with thugs.' Nandipha can be heard throughout the live broadcast repeatedly calling for help, pleading for the intervention of the police. 'We've been calling cops to no avail and my children are being held hostage.' The alleged landlord, Vuyiseka Mfeqeka, known as 'Sis Vee', countered Nandipha's claims, stating that Nandipha had rented the house specifically to shoot her reality show for eight weeks and that the agreed period had expired. She also responded to Queen Nandi in a live Facebook video, which is also doing the rounds on social media. 'She was supposed to be out on June 7, but she doesn't want to leave. 'We even had the police involved. We have been going to the police station, but she won't leave.' Sis Vee also clarified that she didn't hijack the building. She owns the property.

'Risked it all': Where is Nandipha Magudumana's husband?
Nandipha Maguduman's recent court appearance has left many South Africans questioning how and why she gave up her glamorous and successful life – and her marriage – to embark on a criminal spree with fellow-accused, Thabo Bester. The alleged couple are currently facing charges of orchestrating his 2022 prison escape, defrauding the public, and violating multiple bodies. They appeared at the Free State High Court for a pre-trial hearing, which has been postponed to 19 September. Their trial is set to begin on 10 November at the Bloemfontein High Court. With all eyes on Nandipha, many want to know where her other half, Mr Magudumana, is. Despite being a married woman, the celebrity aesthetics doctor allegedly embarked on an affair with Thabo Bester while he was behind bars for a rape and murder conviction in 2012. At the time, Nandipha was married to Mkhuseli Magudumana, who is a paediatric medical doctor. The former couple shares two daughters together: Ayana and Aziza. But according to an affidavit, Nandipha claimed she was Bester's 'customary wife.' In a tweet posted following her arrest, former friend Redi Tlhabi claims the couple divorced in 2022. However, conflicting reports claim that Nandipha is still legally married to Mkhuseli Magudumana, who has kept a low profile since her arrest. Where is Nandipha Magudumana's husband Mkhuseli? Images via Instagram: @drnandi/ Showmax In Nandipha's 2024 bail application, she revealed that she is currently separated from her husband. In a sworn statement, Nandipha claimed that she met Thabo Bester at Wits University in 2006, where he allegedly studied theology. Official reports have revealed that Bester only has a grade 7 education. Nandipha also claimed that she and Bester began dating in 2017, and he paid lobola for her in 2020. While Nandipha Magudumana's frail appearance has concerned many South Africans, others have claimed that she is merely playing the public empathy card. Some even insinuated that she was no better than Thabo Bester himself. In court appearances, Nandipha Magudumana has appeared to read her Bible, pray, and sing, all while under the watchful eye of clicking cameras. Months after her arrest, the mom-of-two was in tears when her attorney claimed that Thabo Bester had 'forced' her to skip the country with her. In a letter written during Women's Month, Nandipha also claimed that she was abused by many men in her life, possibly including Bester.
