Khanyi Mbau has publicly announced a break up from her long-time Zimbabwean boyfriend, Kudzai Mushonga, explaining that she has finally found the courage to leave.
The reality TV star confirmed the split in an Instagram post on Monday. She also removed all of their pictures on her account.
“He was a good guy, but he did some bad things, he tried everything he could to make it up to me. I did most of my grieving while we were together. I finally got the courage to leave. And of course I wish him the best,” she wrote.
Mbau and Mushonga have had their fair share of on-and-offs in their five-year relationship. In 2021 IOL reported that the media personality left her boyfriend in Dubai and came back home to South Africa.
It was later revealed in a radio interview that Mbau left in a hurry to protect her mental space.
The couple started dating back in 2019 and publicly announced their relationship in 2021. Even though they had separated multiple times before, it was no secret that the pair was deeply in love.
This could be seen from getting tattoos of each other’s names to showing each other affection through social media.
Mbau’s fans wished for her healing during this difficult time.
Instagram user @glensith commented, “Sending some love and healing.”
Instagram user @itsmwacha wrote: “I am so heartbroken, you guys were perfect together. I wish you all the best if it’s not meant to be, it’s not meant to be.”
Instagram user @preshmatshaya said, “Sending you love, light and healing. I’m so proud of you for always choosing yourself.”
Some of her fans, however, are not convinced and think this is just another publicity stunt.
Instagram user @innomorolong__ commented, “I don’t believe this. Let’s hope it’s a publicity stunt or something. If not I wish the best for you sis.”
Instagram user @sasha_chaka wrote: “Why do I feel like we’re being pranked, I’m smelling wedding bells. Congratulations in advance Khanyi.”
