Former Joburg mayor Phalatse remarries after Malada divorce

Former City of Johannesburg mayor Mpho Phalatse and her husband Brutus Malada have divorced hardly two years after they got married.

Phalatse is now mmafundisi after getting married to Jubilee Global Ministries pastor
Gerald Nxumalo.


She exchanged vows with Nxumalo on August 30, four months after breaking up with Malada in April.

Phalatse was introduced as mmafundisi the following day during a church service held at the headquarters in Randburg, north western Joburg.

Phalatse, 47, has now divorced three times before the age of 50 years.

Sources close to Malada and Phalatse, who walked down the aisle in December 2022, alleged that the two called quits in April this year after a dispute over their relatives.

The deep throat alleged that Malada lived with Phalatse and her relatives in a rented house in Fourways, northern Joburg, after their wedding, which hogged media headlines as she was the city’s first citizen.

The mole said the two enjoyed their marital bliss after their matrimony even after Phalatse was ousted as the City of Joburg mayor.

Their marriage, said the tipster, started faltering when Phalatse started having problems with Malada’s relatives visiting him at their matrimonial home.

“You see, Malada would drop off Mpho’s relatives wherever they wanted to go and even make time to fetch them. But when his relatives wanted to visit him in their house, she would protest.

“Mpho is a spiritual person, and she would go to church and fast and pray hard, and when she returned home, she would tell Brutus that they should not allow too many people into their home because this may bring bad luck to their house,” said the source.

The person said Malada tried to find a solution to the problem but when he hit a brick wall, he decided to pack his bags and hit the road.

“He left the house between April 2 and April 5 and went back to live with his children.

“I can tell you that although they married after dating for about three months, this was Mpho’s longest union because it lasted for more than 12 months,” said the source.
Malada confirmed their nuptials had gone up in smoke.

“I can confirm that Mpho and I divorced in April this year because of complex family issues. The months that we spent together were the happiest period of my life and will always cherish the memories we shared together,” he said.

About Phalatse’s marriage to Nxumalo, Malada said: “If she is married and happy, I’m happy for her too. Life moves on.”

  1. Where did the Pastor paid lobola bcs if he had paid to her family then it’s wrong.A family can’t receive lobola twice for one woman.Lobola should be paid to her ex hubby

    • You say twice as per report here they say Phalatse, 47, has now divorced three times before the age of 50 years. Meaning she is in her 4th marriage. So the family has received 4 lobola.
      .

      • Most of our black sisters with salaries can’t respect their man so in short salaries replace man’s so they can’t stay longer in a love affair let alone marriage hence we have a lot of single parents……money+black sisters=?

        • True

          It equals to arrogance & divorce is the solution

          Rich or Women who can afford say men are scared of them but the truth is they are too controlling & arrongant (their word is final)

        • But some men have inferior complex when dating a “high salaried” women. And no matter how much you will try to make him loved, accepted, respected for who he is, they still feel inferior. There’s nothing much u can do about his character. Unfortunately, this eventually leads to break ups…n hence “a lot of single women”…like u put it. It is, UNTORFUNATELY, what it is

  2. You can clearly see that these cheap love 💕 affairs are taking people to nowhere, imitshato ephumelelayo yileyo yabo ,70 ntys and before, mawutshata manje, you are just making unnecessary expenditures, abayekwe bazibone thanks.

  3. Cha…good people umtshado is still a beautiful thing….just that on this matter you can see many red on both parties…so maybe possible the guy was there midst the other marriage…so whether pastor or another mzalwane this story already paints its own bad pic but anyway who am I to say marriage is not really a holy matrimony that it is to everyone of us…Hopeful I pray the details being shared are nothing less than short if not assumption of press but if it is God have mercy on us….Marriage is about love not kingdoms to conquer

  4. If Mpho and Brutus got married after dating for only three months, April to end of August is over three months. Just as it was possible to date for only three months and get married to Brutus, it is also possible with the Pastor. I wish Mpho and Pastor a fruitful Blessed and very happy union orchestrated by God Almighty. May they put God first in their union and let nothing and no one separate them. May God be always be present in their marriage.

  5. hayi umshato is a serious thing guys le yalo sisi sounds more like a game ,she calls the shots and he doesn’t consider another person’s opinions usi staring * umshato it’s not a fairytale and is not for experiment ,abantu abanje can never be satisfied akekho umntu omanipulative njengabo prayer warrior guys inyan mayithethwe ,labo they live double lifes#

  6. This marriage is unholy, if Platatse”s first husband is still alive, she must reconcile with him or stay single that what the bible teaches is. The pastor is wrong to marry a divorce woman. If he was married where is his wife?

  7. Even Rahab is considered an ideal model of faith in the Bible. A prostitute appreciated after spying to help the Israelites to access Jericho. Only the Creator know who, when and how to judge.

    • Keep approving all dirt in the name of not judging. You people will be ashame, when the Lord say, away from me you workers of evil in the last days.

  8. There is a lot not fixed from the past, more is not done right even in her 4th marriage. She was supposed to try to make it right with this union. Even the Pastor, he is participating in an adulterous marriage. One thing is certain that if the foundation is not right what can the righteous do…

  9. It’s crazy what people think of marriage, how do you enter into covenant and then break that covenant then you enter into covenant again and again, disaster will follow, one man one wife

  10. As long as the pastor is married you judges can’t you give them a break and focus to your own affairs it doesn’t matter how many times you got married the fact is you are married now

  11. U can’t marry 4 times, it’s means all dis man hv a problem. ,I m not judging but let the lady take sometimes and introspect herself,and the pastor was already in union., but let’s God be the jugde but it’s wnt last
