Malema & Wife Appear Together Amid Divorce Rumors
On 28 February 2026, Julius Malema, Mantwa, and their son were seen attending the Soweto Derby together, showcasing a united front amid swirling divorce rumors. The appearance came in the wake of controversial claims made by blogger Musa Khawula, who alleged that the couple had divorced.
The couple’s decision to attend a high-profile event as a family may serve to counter the allegations and reassure their supporters. Malema, a prominent South African politician and leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), has not publicly commented on the divorce claims but his actions suggest his commitment to maintaining a family image.
Social media was abuzz following Khawula’s claims, with many supporters expressing disbelief and optimism about the couple’s relationship. It remains to be seen whether the rumors will have any lasting impact on Malema’s public image or political career.
While public speculation often runs rampant in the lives of public figures, the couple’s recent display at a cherished sporting event has opened discussion on the importance of family in politics. The support they received at the Soweto Derby indicates that many fans hope to see the couple continue to stand together in public life.
