Nozipho Ntshangase, a well-known reality TV star and mother of eight, has been left heartbroken following her husband Zola’s decision to marry a second wife, despite her clear and vocal objections. The couple, who have been married for 17 years, are now at the center of public debate after Zola tied the knot with his new bride, 25-year-old Misokuhle, over the weekend.
The marriage has shocked many, especially those who have followed the family’s journey on television and social media. Nozipho had previously shared her distress about her husband’s plans to bring another woman into their marriage, and her emotional pain has resonated with many South Africans.
Last year, a video surfaced that went viral, capturing a heated argument between Zola, Nozipho, and their children. In the clip, Zola is seen angrily demanding his car keys so he could leave the house, while Nozipho tries to explain that she needed the vehicle to take the children to school. The situation quickly escalated, with Zola accusing their sons of siding against him. The family tension was evident, and viewers were left concerned about the emotional toll the conflict was having on everyone involved.
Nozipho Ntshangase’s heartbreak: Husband Zola marries second wife
Nozipho’s heartbreak became even more evident on the reality show The Mommy Club, where she openly spoke about the betrayal she felt over her husband’s decision. “The plan has changed to bring me pain and to bring my kids pain. I’m not happy with the plan,” she said during an emotional segment. Her raw and vulnerable statement captured the hearts of many viewers who felt her pain deeply.
Since news of the wedding broke, images from Zola and Misokuhle’s ceremony have been circulating online, alongside photos of Nozipho and her children. This stark contrast between the celebration of a new beginning and the emotional devastation left behind has sparked widespread discussion on social media.
Facebook user Yolokazi Chagi shared her thoughts in a viral post, warning women to prioritize themselves in relationships. “If as a woman you are not taking notes from these celebrity marriages, I don’t know at what point you will learn that men will choose themselves and their happiness over their children and wife of years,” she wrote. “When it’s time for him to pack, nothing will ever make him change his mind. So you as a woman, do not be blinded by love. Always put your goals and dreams before a man because he can switch up anytime.”
Chagi’s post struck a chord with many women, who took to the comments to share their support and agreement. One user simply replied, “Absolutely… focus ladies, focus.” Another added, “Men will leave you in the desert WITHOUT WATER.” A third user expressed sympathy for Misokuhle, saying, “I feel for that woman because he is gonna show her flames, but it’s safe to say she deserved everything coming her way.”
Meanwhile, Misokuhle appears unfazed by the backlash, having posted several glamorous photos from the wedding on Instagram. While she has not addressed the controversy directly, her public celebration of the marriage has added fuel to the already heated public discourse.
The story has brought up broader conversations about marriage, loyalty, and the emotional costs of polygamy, particularly when it’s not a mutual decision. Many have questioned Zola’s motives and criticized his choice to move forward with another marriage while leaving behind a family clearly still dealing with the emotional consequences.
As public sentiment continues to rally behind Nozipho, her story has become a powerful example of the importance of emotional well-being, self-prioritization, and resilience in the face of betrayal. Whether Zola and his new wife find happiness remains to be seen, but for now, much of South Africa is standing in solidarity with Nozipho as she navigates this painful chapter.
