Popular Uzalo actor Simphiwe Majozi (32) was dumped like a hot potato for allegedly cheating on his girlfriend, DA councillor Kekeletso Mahlelebe. Five months ago, Mahlelebe packed her bags and left the home they shared for six years in Newlands in Durban and allegedly moved in with her new beau, businessperson Jabu Monaheng.
A councillor in the Elundini Local Municipality in the Eastern Cape, Mahlelebe said she dumped Majozi after she decided she could no longer take the actor’s emotional and physical abuse. He plays the character of Sbu Makhathini on the country’s number one soapie, which airs on SABC1.
She said: “The relationship was a roller coaster. Simphiwe was abusive. He cheated [on me] a couple of times, and his family was not nice to me, and he did not want to resolve anything. The relationship was centred on his friends’ and family’s opinions; it was just not about us.”
At the height of their romance, Mahlelebe and Majozi painted Newlands red and, even though they kept their relationship happy on social media, the politician said their home life was far from perfect.
“He did not want to post anything on social media. He kept on saying that he wanted to keep our relationship private, but that was because he had a lot of side chicks and he could not explain to them [who I was to him]. He was very careful how he answered them [if they asked].
“I went through his phone once and he was not only dating these girls, but he was also discussing me with them. I was keeping his home warm for him … I risked a lot to make sure that he was okay and that was draining because, at some point, I even tried to commit suicide.
“When that happened, he saw me taking the pills and he just said I must do it [kill myself]. The following day, he told me that I was being selfish and I was not thinking for my child,” she said.
The 26-year-old mother of one claimed that the Uzalo actor also dated women from the set of Uzalo, but the tipping point for her was a relationship he had with an 18-year-old who he brought to their home.
She added: “I remember one time he had a gig in Pietermaritzburg where he kissed a woman in front of me … another time when we were in KwaMaphumulo, and he did the same thing. When I questioned him, he said he lived to give the fans what they wanted … There is also a girl who went to his house and that child is practically [part of his] his family. They were dating and she is turning 18 this year.”
Mahlelebe approached Women for Change, a group of gender activists, for help and also reported him to the police after the star allegedly assaulted her.
“Simphiwe hit me once. I took him to the police station in Kwa-Mashu, and I asked the police officers to reprimand him and tell him not to do it again because I did not want them to arrest him.
“Simphiwe loves his job so much and he will do anything to protect it. So, after that, instead of hitting me, he was emotionally abusive and did everything else to hurt me,” Mahlelebe said.
She said Majozi used to go partying with his friends or host them at their home “until the wee hours of the morning, even when my daughter had to go to school the following day. He is a good person, but he does not know how to love … he also does not have a backbone.”
She did not want comment about her new love interest: “He is a very private person, I want to keep it that way.”
Majozi had not responded to a request for comment by the time of going to print.
