Julius Malema Sparks Divorce Rumours After Deleting Wife’s Pictures From Instagram

EFF leader Julius Malema has recently fueled divorce after making a notable change on social media. The politician has removed all photos of his wife, Mantwa Matlala Malema, from his Instagram account. This unexpected action has left many of his followers and the public questioning their relationship status.

Although Mantwa’s pictures have disappeared, Julius Malema continues to share photos of his children, suggesting a selective approach to what he showcases online.

Julius Malema has, over the years, offered glimpses into his family life, often sharing pictures with his wife at glamorous events like the Durban July and celebrating special milestones such as birthdays and anniversaries. These posts painted a picture of a close-knit family. However, the sudden disappearance of these moments has sparked widespread conversation on social media platforms.

The Citizen has reportedly reached out to Malema’s representatives for clarification, but no official comment has been received at the time of writing.
