Reality TV star Nozipho Ntshangase, known for her role in The Mommy Club, is facing a deeply emotional chapter as her husband of 17 years, Zola Ntshangase, has officially married a second wife.
The news, confirmed by The Citizen, broke this past weekend after Zola tied the knot with 25-year-old Misokuhle Nomsheshe in a lavish traditional wedding ceremony.
Photos and videos of the joyful event, shared by Misokuhle on Instagram, quickly circulated online, sparking widespread reactions from fans and viewers of The Mommy Club.
Back in March 2024, Zola publicly confirmed his intention to marry another woman, stating that lobola negotiations were underway.
At the time, he also defended Misokuhle from social media backlash, calling out the “abuse and stigmatisation” she faced amid public scrutiny.
But now that the marriage is official, emotions are running high, especially for fans who witnessed Nozipho’s raw pain on Season 2 of The Mommy Club.
In one particularly gut-wrenching scene, Nozipho broke down in tears, expressing how the decision to bring a second wife into their home shattered the life she thought she had built with Zola.
“You spend 17 years building with someone… and then suddenly, the plan changes. I’m not happy with the plan,” she said through tears. “It only brings pain to me and the kids.”
Social media has since erupted with messages of support for Nozipho. One fan posted:
“Tjo Nozipho’s husband is gone, like really gone. Love & light to her ❤️.”
Another shared a clip from the show, writing:
“Watching this really broke my heart. Strength to Nozi and her family.”
While some online users have defended the cultural practice of polygamy, others are calling for empathy and respect for Nozipho’s experience.
This moment marks a powerful intersection between cultural tradition, personal heartbreak, and public scrutiny — all playing out in real time for a woman many have grown to admire on-screen.
As Nozipho navigates this major life shift, fans continue to send messages of love, strength, and healing. One thing is clear: her vulnerability has resonated deeply, and her courage in the face of heartbreak has had a lasting impact far beyond reality TV.
