Still, the news has left many heartbroken. Just a few months ago, in an interview with Anele Mdoda, Zwai couldn't help but swoon about his wife and said they had been together for 18 years.
Now, this.

Sad to hear about the separation of Melanie and Zwai Bala. Marriage has lost value and meaning, couples are driven by selfish interests.
