Popular SA socialite removes husband’ surname from all her social media profiles

Something intriguing is unfolding in the life of Ayanda Thabethe. The South African socialite has taken a bold step by stripping her husband Peter Matsimbe’s surname from all her social media profiles. Adding to the speculation, the luxurious blue Rolls-Royce Cullinan he gifted her in 2024 has quietly hit the market for a staggering R15 million.

This stunning vehicle, listed at R14,999,990 through Carshop Rivonia, has clocked 24,750 kilometers and boasts a powerful 6.7 V12 petrol engine, though it is classified as used and automatic. Given that this car was a present from Matsimbe, its sale carries significant weight for those closely observing the couple’s dynamics.

In addition to the car, the couple’s lavish five-bedroom residence in Bryanston is also up for grabs and reportedly already has an offer, listed well below its estimated worth of over R24 million. Reports suggest that Ayanda has moved in with her sister, actress Lungile Thabethe, after leaving the marital home.

This news comes just weeks after Ayanda announced she is expecting her third child, and her first with Matsimbe, making the apparent split all the more surprising for their followers.

Social media in South Africa has erupted with reactions, ranging from skepticism to sympathy, and even dark humor. Comments include inquiries about the authenticity of her engagement ring and reminders for women to be financially independent.

Some speculated that Ayanda might be relocating or building a new home, while others pointed out that the house had been on the market for months, suggesting they might be upgrading.

Neither Ayanda nor Peter has publicly commented on the sale of the car, the property, or the removal of the surname. As for the blue Rolls-Royce, it’s now being offered for R15 million.

For those curious about Ayanda Thabethe’s husband, Peter Matsimbe, a previous profile detailed their relationship, revealing they dated for over three years before marrying in June 2025 and share two children together.
