Their relationship has been a topic of discussion on social media since it was discovered that not-yet-divorced businessman Leeroy Sidambe and brand influencer Mohlali Ndamase were together. The highly popular YouTuber has since confirmed that she and Leeroy separated in October this year.
Mihlali and Leeroy started dating before his divorce from Mary Jane Sidambe was finalized. In an interview on Shomax's Unfollowed, she said dating a man who is still married is not her concern. "Oh, no, darling. It's not my place to wait. I'm not the one who Is married. It is he who decided that he wants to find a partner and date someone." After many assumed she was with him for money, she refuted the allegations. "I've got my own money! Are you mad? There are a lot of men with money in the world. But do they respect women??,"
Mihlali's revelation about their break-up comes after Leeroy and his friends went on an Instagram Live showing him kissing another woman on the cheek. "Don't post in Dubai like you're bosses when you owe me money bandla," she said. "Talking about catching flights and not feelings, who
was coughing up money in Mexico when your card was declining," lol, don't try me, Mihlali to Leeroy's friend, Melusi who responded. "Don't come with Kak wena Mihlali. I Owe you nothing. If anything, you owe my company Tree Of Life stores thousands of rands. I make more than you ever will young lady! Don't f**K with me! I carry you and you don't even know it!" Melusi responded. Mihlali says she ended things about three months ago. "I left that person in October; I have peace of mind."
Earlier this year, Leeroy had been facing some financial trouble in his business after failing to pay his staff members. Staff at his company, Black Industrials Africa Group told ZiMoja they are struggling to make ends meet, almost two weeks after their salaries were due. I didn't expect to not be paid what was due to me. But he is busy living his best life as a celebrity."
TROUBLE IN PARADISE
ZiMoja reported that trouble in the relationship between Leeroy and Mihlali started in February. A source told ZiMoja then that trouble started at a holiday resort in Magaliesburg where the couple was attending a friend's birthday party. In attendance were Thando Thabethe, Somizi Mhlongo, Brinnette Seopela, and many others. It was alleged that Mihlali could not make it to the main party after having too much to drink and went to sleep. Guests were said to be surprised when Leeroy arrived at breakfast with a gash on his forehead. According to the source, Mihlali had lost her cool. "It looked like someone had hit him with a bottle. I am not saying she did, but it was just the two of them in their room. Both of them know what happened there," the source said. According to another source, the couple separated then but got back together again.
