Bishop Makamu’s Scandal Still Lingers: Wife Hloniphile Heartbroken Two Years After Cheating Revelations

Two years have passed, but the fallout from Bishop Israel Makamu’s infidelity continues to cast a shadow over his marriage.In the spotlight for all the wrong reasons, the church leader faced public scrutiny after a voice recording surfaced, revealing his inappropriate request for a sexual favor from a young girl. Subsequent reports suggested attempts to hush up the scandal with alleged financial offers and, more recently, a church service centered on forgiveness and healing.The controversy dates back to 2018 when a 17-year-old girl shared the disturbing details of the incident involving the leader of Endless Hope Bible Church and his wife, Hloniphile. The revelation included allegations that Bishop Makamu and his wife attempted to bribe the victim when she reported the matter to her parents, a claim she openly discussed on the YouTube Channel, Solomon’s Temple.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Despite the passage of time, Bishop Makamu’s recent public apology during a church service aimed at forgiveness did little to sway public opinion. Airing on his online channel, MakamuTV, the bishop embraced his wife as they prayed over the lingering issue, but not all South Africans were impressed with the public display.

The charismatic leader, who has been suspended from his role on Moja Love’s Rea Tsotella, delivered a sermon on forgiveness, sin, facing criticism for mistakes, battling the devil, and relying on God to defend the weak.

During the service, the first lady, Hloniphile, stood up, visibly moved, cheering her husband on as he preached. However, the wounds of the past seemed far from healed, as the bishop acknowledged his wrongdoing and pleaded for forgiveness.

“With all humility, I am repeating what I said three years ago, I have done you wrong, find it in your heart to forgive me,” he said, prompting his wife to join him on stage, shedding tears as they embraced.

Despite the public display of unity, the incident from two years ago continues to haunt the couple, leaving Hloniphile visibly heartbroken. As the scandal lingers, the church leader faces ongoing challenges in rebuilding trust and restoring his public image.

Having gone through pageant boot camp on Crown Chasers, if there was anyone prepared for a green screen recording it would be Adetshina. For her video announcing her voting number for the pageant, she keeps it simple in black. Knowing there is bright lighting and a green screen, she avoided highly saturated colours that would clash with the set-up, or pale tones that would wash her out. Instead, the all black ensemble complements her skin tone, topped with a thick matching headband that creates a visual effect that does not bounce back any light or equipment.

Several sources have since confirmed news of his death. Confirmed reports have it that he has been battling with some health complications after a botched operation in 2022.

“After much consideration, I have decided to take a different direction in my career,” said Mzambiya. “My time as a recording artist has come to an end, but my passion for the industry remains strong.”

Happy Birthday to Londeka Sishi♥️
New bombshell on the block Londeka Sishi is one to look out for on our TV screens.

The 26-year-old actress from Port Shepstone, KZN, scored her big break in the television industry earlier this year when she landed the role of Nkanyezi on Showmax’s Adulting.

 

 

 

While she’s fairly new to the entertainment industry, Sishi – who has no relation with former SMag cover star Ntobeko Sishi – is slowly carving a name for herself and is grateful to be pursuing her true calling which is acting.

“I come from a strict family where a career in acting didn’t seem like a viable option. After a while of wanting to get into this space and getting rejected at auditions, I kind of gave up on it and focused on my corporate career,” Sishi shares.

“One day, a colleague and I saw an open call posted on Instagram by Tshedza Pictures for a new show. My colleague asked me to try my luck and because I’ve always had a passion and love for acting, I knew I had to go for it.

“I recorded a self-tape and submitted it, I got a call back shortly after that. There was a bit of back and forth after driving up to Joburg, I got the role.”

With the acting door she had been waiting for finally opened, Sishi had to relocate to Johannesburg to be in close proximity to the set. She described the past year as “an instant overwhelming change” that seemed surreal.

“After the first episode aired, my social media following increased drastically. I started being recognised by the people on the streets who wanted to take pictures with me… so many people started showing me some love which was overwhelming but incredibly beautiful to experience,” she said.

“I had to go for counselling because of how drastic things changed for me. It was like a shock to the system how my life dynamic has changed because I am now on TV. So far, I haven’t had any bad encounters with fame and I hope it stays that way.
