Julius Malema Responds to Divorce Rumors with Anniversary Celebrations
Recently, Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader Julius Malema stirred up rumors about his marriage when he removed all photos of his wife, Mantwa Matlala, from his official Instagram account.
This move sparked speculation about potential troubles in their relationship, including divorce.
However, Malema didn’t directly address the gossip but instead celebrated a significant milestone in his marriage, seemingly putting those rumors to rest.
Celebrating a Decade Together
To mark his 10th wedding anniversary with Mantwa, Julius Malema shared a series of posts on his social media, offering a glimpse into their celebration.
The couple’s anniversary came at a time when divorce rumors were circulating, partly fueled by a post from journalist Lester Kiewit back in August.
Kiewit had suggested that Malema was undergoing a second divorce, though the claim was never confirmed.
Instead of commenting on these reports, Malema chose to share happy moments with his wife, leaving many to wonder about the true status of their relationship.
The Anniversary Getaway
It seemed like the couple’s 10th anniversary wasn’t just a celebration of love but also an opportunity to enjoy a getaway.
In his Instagram Stories, Malema shared footage of himself and Mantwa, both smiling, with the caption, “This is what a decade of marriage looks like.”
There were also pictures of them dining together. To add to the intrigue, they were reportedly vacationing at Victoria Falls, a stunning destination that the EFF leader mentioned in a post with the caption, ‘Musi O Tunya,’ which refers to the falls’ indigenous name, meaning “the smoke that thunders.”
While these photos raised some questions and fueled speculation, Malema did not explicitly confirm the exact details of his anniversary trip, further keeping his personal life private.
A Private Celebration of Love
Julius Malema and Mantwa Matlala wed in December 2014 in an intimate ceremony, attended by close friends and family.
Over the years, they’ve kept much of their personal life away from the public eye, but when they do share moments together, it’s often something worth celebrating.
The couple has two sons, Kopano and Munzhedzi, and Malema also has a child from a previous relationship.
Though he tends to keep his love life under wraps, he has occasionally given glimpses of their special moments on social media.
What’s Next for Julius Malema?
While rumors about a second separation continue to circulate, it’s clear that Julius Malema is choosing to focus on his family and his marriage.
The anniversary celebrations and his subtle response to the rumors have left many guessing, but only time will tell if any further details emerge.
For now, Malema seems content keeping his private life, well… private.
