She also revealed, at the time, that she and her son, Oyinkosi Mthethwa had moved out of their marital home in Durban and moved back to Ntando’s place of birth, Mpumalanga.

In her statement, Ntandoalso indicated that there won’t be any maintenance battle, as they’ll both continue providing for their son in every way possible.

“…On behalf of Khaya and I, we request you to respect our privacy as we go through this difficult process. We know and appreciate your love and concerns about us but do know that we are fine and this decision is in the best interest of both of us. We agreed to handle our divorce amicably, with mutual respect and no contest. Khaya and I will remain friends. ” reads the statement.

In an interview on YFM with Khutso Theledi following his divorce to Ntando Kunene, Khaya said the way society treated him led to him feeling depressed and alone.

“I am 33, divorced, been through alcohol, been through just trying to numb the pain. I have struggled because how are you going to be able to speak to your generation if you have never been through what they are going through,” he said in part.

Ntando Kunene – Doing What You Love the most is Hard

Ntando Kunene has touched on a very important topic about being passionate about something but encountering challenges. Ntando took to Instagram to express herself. She said, “I know I’m smiling in this picture, but sometimes when in the office, it’s not all smiles but tears, questions, realigning, going back to your vision board, constantly reminding yourself why you started, etc.

I think there is a misconception about “doing what you love” as if it is not supposed to be hard. Yes, I am passionate about everything I do but that also comes with it’s own set of challenges.

Sometimes you win and sometimes you loose; that is part of the journey. We keep going because the vision remains. We will keep our eyes fixed on the prize. PS: Whenever you face challenges in doing what you love; those challenges are justifiable. It’s challenging that fuel you to rise rather than to quit.

“I feel better. I make more time to be with Oyinkosi even if sometimes its just him coming into my study and he can do whatever he does as much as I am still working but he’s around and he’s there…sometimes when I come downstairs, he going to say ‘mommy go study’, sometimes I feel bad I am like ‘is that how you know me now’”

On social media, peeps have been seen celebrating their divorce the exact same way they celebrated their marriage. For them, divorcing is like a breath of fresh air and they continue with life as normal. For Khaya Mthethwa though, he had to face, many obstacle including criticism from people because he divorced his now ex-wife Ntando Kunene.

Speaking to Khutso Theledi on her YFM ‘The Lady On Drive Show’, he spoke about how society turned it’s back on him and made him feel unworthy because his marriage to Ntando lasted for two years. This was just one of the many hardships he faced in his life, but they helped him because he can now deal with obstacles thrown at him.
