Hold onto your hats, because South African opposition leader Julius Malema has just given Instagram detectives a field day as we head to Christmas.
The fiery leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) has mysteriously poofed all traces of his wife, Mantwa, from his Instagram account, leaving the social media streets ablaze with speculation.
While snaps of his adorable kids remain proudly displayed, every single photo featuring his better half has vanished like a politician’s promise after an election.
Talk about suspicious timing, especially with the couple’s milestone 10th wedding anniversary just around the corner on December 27. Are the Malemas headed for Splitsville, or is this just a case of digital decluttering gone wrong?
Malema and Mantwa have been serving major couple goals for nearly a decade.
From dazzling appearances at the Durban July to loved-up anniversary posts, the pair has always seemed solid. But with these sudden Insta-changes, fans are left wondering: Is everything as rosy as it seems?
Social media sleuths are already piecing together clues. Could it be trouble in paradise? Or is Malema simply trying to protect his private life from the prying eyes of the public? Either way, the timing is chef’s kiss dramatic.
Even as Mantwa’s photos disappear, Julius has kept the spotlight on his sons, Kopano and Munzhedzi. And let’s not forget Ratanang, his eldest from a previous relationship. Could the EFF leader be shifting his focus to daddy duties? Or is this a classic case of “if it’s not on the ’Gram, it didn’t happen”?
Adding fuel to the gossip fire, Malema recently spilled some tea about his romantic side during an episode of Awkward Dates with Lasizwe.
When asked about his wife, the politician played it cool, calling her “the one” and even reminiscing about his knee-bending proposal. But here’s the kicker: this episode aired just days before the Insta purge. Coincidence? We think not!
For now, Malema’s team is keeping mum, and fans are left biting their nails for an official statement. Until then, the rumor mill will keep spinning, and we’ll be here for every juicy update.
Stay tuned, because when it comes to Julius Malema, the drama never disappoints!
