NGIZWE MCHUNU’S EX-WIFE, FLODA, SAYS SHE WAS YOUNG WHEN THEY ‘DATED’

Floda, who revealed that she is no longer married to the former Ukhozi FM presenter after approximately 8 years of marriage, said that she was only 16 when they started dating. The former couple have an age gap of about 10 years.

The musician explained that she’d known Mchunu since she was eight years old because he was a family friend. Many years later, when she was 16, he made his move on her. According to Floda, she did not fully understand what was going on at the time.

“My family didn’t know [that he was courting me] and I didn’t tell them because I, too, did not understand what was happening. I just thought we were having conversations.

“I trusted him because I had known him since I was young,” she explained.

Floda said that when their relationship was disclosed to her family, she shut down.

“I didn’t even have the desire to hear his explanation. I just shut down… Even when the relationship continued, I was just like ‘Urg! What’s the point because you lied from the beginning?’. The whole relationship was a lie from the very beginning, so it was just useless for me, ” she said.
