Senzo Meyiwa’s Widow Mandisa Mkhize Discovers New Love
Next month marks a significant moment for the family of Senzo Meyiwa as they commemorate ten years since the tragic passing of the beloved Bafana Bafana and Orlando Pirates goalkeeper. For many South Africans, Senzo’s untimely death on October 26, 2014, still feels fresh, a haunting reminder of the life that was cut short too soon.
Senzo was shot dead at the home of his baby mama, the talented Afro-pop singer Kelly Khumalo, and the circumstances surrounding his death have left a lasting impact on fans and family alike. As we approach this somber anniversary, it’s a time of reflection, but it’s also a moment that brings new beginnings for those he left behind.
In a twist of fate, Senzo’s widow, Mandisa Mkhize, who was dealing with marital issues at the time of his death, has found love again. According to sources close to the Meyiwa family, Mandisa is busy preparing for her upcoming wedding with her new partner. It’s heartening to hear that she has moved on and is ready to embrace a new chapter in her life, according to ZiMoja
“Mandisa will be getting married soon. She has a new partner, and our family has given her the blessings to have a new husband,” a source revealed. This news is not just about Mandisa; it’s a sign of healing for the family as they navigate the complexities of love, loss, and moving forward.
Mandisa and Senzo share a teenage daughter, Nana, who undoubtedly plays a crucial role in this new journey. The source also mentioned that Senzo’s mother, Ntombifuthi, remains in close contact with Mandisa, referring to her affectionately as her “Makoti” (bride). It’s touching to see that despite the heartache, there’s still a strong bond between the families, showing that love can endure even in the face of tragedy.
However, it’s clear that there are lingering feelings. Senzo’s mother expressed her disappointment that her son found love elsewhere just before their planned white wedding. Senzo had already paid the full lobola and completed the umembeso ceremony for Mandisa, signifying the depth of their commitment. Yet, in her wisdom, Ntombifuthi has chosen to support Mandisa’s decision to move on, indicating a desire for happiness for both her son’s widow and their family.
As we approach this anniversary, it’s essential to remember Senzo not only for his contributions to soccer but also for the love he fostered in his family. While the pain of his loss will always be felt, the hope of new beginnings shines through. Here’s to Mandisa, her new love, and the Meyiwa family as they honor Senzo’s memory while embracing the future.
