Family’s Support for Mandisa’s New Journey
A source close to the Meyiwa family revealed that Mandisa has been in a relationship for a considerable time and is ready to take the next step. The family insider said,

Mandisa and Senzo’s Shared History
Mandisa and Senzo Meyiwa share a daughter, Nana, who is now a teenager. Despite the heartbreak of Senzo’s death, Mandisa has remained connected to his family. In particular, Senzo’s mother, Ntombifuthi Meyiwa, continues to communicate with Mandisa and holds her in high regard. She still refers to her as her “Makoti,” a term that symbolizes a daughter-in-law.
Ntombifuthi was reportedly disheartened by the fact that Senzo had pursued a romantic relationship elsewhere before his tragic death, especially considering that the couple had already completed the traditional marriage rites. Senzo had paid lobola (bride price) for Mandisa and had carried out the umembeso ceremony, a significant cultural event in their Zulu heritage, that solidified his commitment to her family.
Moving Forward with Family Blessings
Despite the past, Senzo’s mother has blessed Mandisa with the ability to move on and build a new life. According to the family source, Ntombifuthi supports Mandisa’s decision to remarry and has confirmed that she will be present at the upcoming wedding.
This support from the Meyiwa family is a significant gesture, showcasing their enduring bond with Mandisa and her place within the family. The approval from Ntombifuthi and other family members has allowed Mandisa to embrace her future with her new partner confidently.

Mandisa’s Privacy on Personal Matters
Despite the public interest in her life, Mandisa Mkhize has chosen to remain private about her relationship and upcoming wedding. When approached by ZiMoja for comments regarding her personal life, she politely declined, stating, “I would rather not talk about that.” This respectful boundary highlights Mandisa’s desire to keep her personal life away from media attention as she moves forward.
Her decision to maintain a private stance is understandable, given the intense media scrutiny she has faced over the years since Senzo’s tragic passing.
