King Dalindyebo’s Wife Nolubabalo Leaves Him For Businessman

Nolubabalo Mcinga, estranged wife of AbaThembu King Dalindyebo, has left the royal marriage for a prominent businessman.

Her departure was influenced by internal family dynamics and disagreements over cultural expectations, including the practice of lobola, which caused friction between her family and the king.

The king did not pay lobola for her (he does not believe in it), but they exchanged vows, making them legally married.

Despite the split just three months into the marriage, the king remains “head over heels in love” with her.

Mcinga is a former EFF MP, has been associated with the Afrika Mayibuye Movement, and is now linked to the UDM.

She has rekindled a relationship with a well-known flamboyant businessman she first dated in her 20s.

The pair are deeply involved again, with talk of wedding plans once the businessman finalises separation proceedings from his estranged wife.

Sources say they have become practically inseparable, and her connection with him is something she never fully let go of—now stronger than before.

Mcinga and the king formalised their union through a church ceremony, but the relationship began breaking down around three months later, leading to her departure from the royal household.
