  3. Baby C, i thought the story said she had a stroke? Are we about to accuse Njengembaso of something seeing as he has a very ‘nice’ repuatation in ‘that’ dept lol

  4. Chief Mpezeni was very married though he likes “Enjoying his subjects” if I may quote his language. He is a Ngoni Bull.

  7. Mazyopa nkosikazi is survived by a daughter and a husband. Surely at that age Mpenzeni has one child? Was she the 4th wife or the one we read about in the paper a few years ago?
