Ngizwe, the self-proclaimed president of Amabhinca, is known for fighting for workers’ rights, defending traditional culture and leading marches against illegal immigrants.

But in the latest explosive episode of Amabhinca on Mzansi Magic, his first wife Siphelele “MaNxumalo” Nxumalo-Mchunu painted a different picture of the public hero.

The angry wife accused him of neglecting his duties as the head of the family while being celebrated as a champion outside their home.

MaNxumalo revealed that she’s been battling stress and depression, taking pills to cope with the situation.

“He spends less time at home. He’s unavailable and unreachable on his cellphone when we need him most.”

She begged Ngizwe to, at least, be a present dad to their kids, even if he’s reportedly failed as a husband.

“He must take care of his kids and teach them how to be men. His kids don’t know anything. It’s just their uncles who teach them and me. How do you explain that?”

MaNxumalo said it’s impossible to make decisions about the kids because she can’t even reach him on the phone.

“I’ve only ridden in his new car three times. When I have an emergency, it’s too difficult to reach my husband for help. I feel like a widow. He doesn’t even know the size of his kids’ clothes.”

Ngizwe neither agreed with nor denied his wife’s accusations.

Instead, he claimed she’s jealous of his other wives.

“She wishes to be the only wife, and that’ll never happen.”

He blamed MaNxumalo’s family for spoiling their kids.

“Who am I taking care of among all of them? I’m a man. You can only guide a person when they’re new to this world,” he said.

Ngizwe added that MaNxumalo is spoiling the kids and has taken their lastborn, Pheth’inhlanhla, to church against his wishes.

“They took him to church and fed him with church values,” he said.

He claimed MaNxumalo loves him but diverts that love to the kids when she doesn’t get his attention.

“She’s overwhelming the kids with too much love that should be directed at me,” said Ngizwe.
