Vuyokazi Responds To Claims By Chef Xolani
In a candid statement, she claimed the marriage collapsed after Xolani allegedly cheated on her with her best friend, leading her to reconsider their future.
“I am reaching out to you with a heavy heart, as recent events have deeply affected me. I am a woman who has always sought to live my life with authenticity and privacy, yet I continually find my personal life in the public domain, especially regarding my relationships.”
Vuyokazi admitted she was stunned to hear her husband felt “forced” into the lobola negotiations. She asserted that this claim was new to her, and she didn’t see it coming.
“These accusations have brought to light a side of him that I was previously unaware of or perhaps chose not to see. I am devastated by the things said, and I am struggling to process the emotional impact of this situation,” she explained.
Expressing gratitude to those who have shown support, she acknowledged the toll the situation has taken on her.
“To those who have shown me compassion and support, I am deeply grateful. Your empathy and words have given me strength during this painful time. For those who may feel differently, I understand that I may often face scrutiny, but I kindly ask you to consider the toll such personal matters take on individuals.
“I stand here heartbroken and disillusioned, coming to terms with the painful reality of being let down once again. I am aware that I am not alone in this experience; many women have found themselves in similar situations. To all those who have endured betrayal or heartbreak, I extend my solidarity. I will not be making further comments on this matter and ask that my privacy be respected as I navigate this challenging time.”
