South African singer Mawhoo, real name Thandeka Ngema, has found herself at the center of controversy after her former personal assistant and make-up artist, Kuhle Plaatjies, was let go. While Mawhoo and her manager-sister, Noxolo Ngema, have mended their past differences and resumed working together, Kuhle’s sudden absence from the singer’s appearances has raised eyebrows among fans.
Kuhle, who had been a consistent presence in Mawhoo’s entourage, has been noticeably missing in recent public appearances, prompting speculation on social media. Concerned fans questioned why she was no longer seen alongside the Ngiyamthanda hitmaker, leading to insider reports that unprofessional conduct was the reason behind her dismissal.
According to a close friend, Kuhle was fired because she overstepped professional boundaries by acting as though she was Mawhoo’s friend rather than an employee. The source explained to ZiMoja that while Mawhoo is known for her kindness, she maintains a level of professionalism and expects her staff to do the same.
“They are not friends; Mawhoo is just really kind, but at the end of the day, she was at work and expected to deliver,” the source stated.
When approached for comment, Kuhle admitted that she was struggling emotionally following her termination but hinted at revealing more details in due time.
“I am not okay. I am trying to be strong, but I am not okay,” she said, fueling speculation that more drama could unfold.
Mawhoo’s manager and sister, Noxolo, confirmed Kuhle’s departure but refused to disclose further details. “She’s no longer with us, but I cannot divulge more. It’s private information,” she told the publication.
This is not the first time Kuhle has been embroiled in controversy with a high-profile artist. She previously worked as a make-up artist for Babes Wodumo, but the two had a public falling out. Kuhle accused the Wololo singer of failing to pay her for services rendered at two gigs and later ignoring her calls.
With Kuhle now hinting at exposing the real reason behind her fallout with Mawhoo, fans are left wondering whether more secrets about the singer’s inner circle will come to light. Will she spill the beans, or will this chapter remain closed? Time will tell.
