Award-winning gospel artist Khaya Mthethwa opened up about his nasty divorce with former Miss SA Ntando Kunene. He was married to his ex-wife for two years, and during their marital bliss, they bore a son. Their breakup made all sorts of headlines and received a lot of backlash from Mzansi.
Ahead of his Art & Worship album tour, Khaya had a sit-down on Wisdom & Wellness. . The Idols SA season 8 winner recalled how the Covid pandemic had intensified the emotional rollercoaster he experienced after his divorce. Khaya described the divorce as the most horrible experience that he would not wish anyone to go through.
“I really struggled, I’m not going to lie. That has been the hardest thing I’ve ever had to go through and I never want to go through it again … I cannot believe I came out of that hole. And when I went through it, it was during the period of lockdown. We broke up; then we went into lockdown. I was alone in my house for eight months … Thank God I didn’t have to go to church because I would have collapsed,” he said.
“It was a period for me to unlearn, and it was a huge awakening to the man I was and a huge awakening to who I wanted to be. I was on antidepressants and I was sleeping my life away.”

Khaya Mthethwa is thankful that he overcomes his ex-wife’s divorce and has moved on with his life. He also revealed that he learned life lessons from his divorce and will try to keep his love life away from social media.
“I took that step to try not to live my life online, and I wanted to live my life. I felt like it was taking over my life to some extent, and I wanted to separate those two things and make my life my life. It’s been a life-changing experience.”
