Controversial music executive Nota Nhlamulo Baloyi and his estranged wife, Gugulethu Khumalo, known professionally as Berita, have officially finalized their divorce.
Nota Baloyi Divorce Announcement
In 2022, Berita disclosed that she had separated from Nota after just one year of marriage. She took to her social media platform, X, to apologize to YouTuber Mihlali after Nota made derogatory remarks about her.
Berita mentioned that she left their home in January 2022, implying that Nota’s alleged mental health struggles were a significant factor in their separation.

Okay, I’m definitely missing the inauguration… At least I’m getting half & I lost nothing!

Berita’s Recollections
In a February interview with Kaya959 last year, Berita recounted the day she decided to leave her marriage. She contacted a therapist and realized she was in a narcissistically abusive relationship with Nota.

Realization of Abuse
“I spent an hour and a half explaining the situation to the therapist, initially thinking it was just anger issues. But the moment I understood it was an abusive relationship, I knew I couldn’t stay another minute and made immediate plans to leave,” she shared.
She recounted booking herself into a Bed and Breakfast on the day she left and never returning to her marital home.
“During our dating period and early marriage, the signs gradually became clear. On December 21, 2021, I realized I had fallen out of love with him and needed to break free,” Berita recalled.
