The veteran actor, known for his roles in popular shows like “Skeem Saam,” finds himself grappling with a cascade of setbacks, with recent reports indicating the loss of both an acting opportunity and a prestigious ambassadorship deal.
Reports from ZiMoja suggest that Maake kaNcube is no longer serving as the brand ambassador for Budget Insurance, a role he secured in 2022 alongside rugby star Faf de Klerk. The ambassadorship, reportedly valued at millions, has come to an abrupt end, adding to Maake kaNcube’s woes.
In addition to this blow, the esteemed actor has purportedly been ousted from his role as Washington in the Mzansi Magic telenovela, “Champions.” Sources reveal that the production company behind the show, Tshedza Pictures, has decided to write off Maake kaNcube’s character, with plans for the character’s demise in the upcoming months.
While Maake kaNcube will continue to receive compensation until the end of the season, his departure from the show marks a significant professional setback for the actor.
The news of these career setbacks comes on the heels of reports from Sunday World indicating trouble in Maake kaNcube’s personal life. The publication detailed alleged discord between Maake kaNcube and his wife, Pearl Mbewe, leading to speculation about an impending divorce.
According to sources, tensions arose between the couple due to Maake kaNcube’s purported interactions with his alleged former partner, Cynthia Hlahla, also known as Lacoste.
Text message exchanges reported by Sunday World suggest Maake kaNcube’s apparent indecision and emotional turmoil, with Hlahla questioning his sincerity and commitment to their relationship.
The reported marital strife culminated in Mbewe leaving their marital home in Dube, Soweto, following a confrontation with Maake kaNcube.
Despite attempts to reconcile, including efforts to fulfill lobolo payments through a delegation, Maake kaNcube’s advances were rebuffed by Mbewe, leading to his pursuit of legal counsel for divorce proceedings.
Maake kaNcube’s impending divorce from Mbewe marks his second marital dissolution, following a previous marriage to Palesa Mboweni. Their union, which lasted only eight months, ended in divorce in 2015, according to TshisaLIVE.
As Maake kaNcube navigates through these personal and professional challenges, the entertainment industry and his supporters remain attentive, hopeful for a resolution to his tribulations.
