HAPPINESS: Tina and Prosper Mkwaiwa had all the markings of a cheery couple. Picture by Veli NhlapoMkwaiwa bolted out of their home after Sunday World revealed that Tina was in a lesbian relationship with Queen Elizabeth, real name Tshegofatso Dibetso.
Mkwaiwa's friend, who asked not to be named, says Mkwaiwa was shocked by what he read in the papers about his wife and immediately left for Cape Town.
"Prosper was so mad that he even wanted to divorce her. He left for Cape Town, leaving Tina alone in the house in Bronkorspruit," says the friend.
"He was so down. He broke down after reading the story. It was so sad seeing him in that state. I thought he was going to commit suicide," says the friend.
Sunday World caught up stressed Mkwaiwa on Friday wondering in Rosebank solo.
We followed him to Koi restaurant, where he ordered wine and sushi.
When approached Mkwaiwa said: "You are out to destroy me. Why are you following me around? Two weeks ago you said my wife was a lesbian. What is it you want?"
We told him we'd heard he left Tina high and dry at the house after we ran the story and we wanted to confirm if this was true.
Mkwaiwa was reluctant to comment but later said: "I left my wife because I was angry and confused after the story. Is that what you do for living? Destroy people's lives?"
Mkwaiwa said it had caused him serious stress: "I felt so bad about what was written. I wanted Tina to explain the content of that story, but she was dismissive ... I had trusted her."
When asked about the suicidal thoughts, he said: "I was traumatised, but nothing can justify anybody taking his life. I am hurt but I had to think twice about leaving her. We are trying to work things out."
Tina says: "Prosper was furious when I got home. He was a bit too harsh. Now I am paying the price for something I didn't do. He left me in the house and didn't call for days.
"I tried to explain that there was nothing like what he read, but he didn't want to take no for an answer.
"He is back, but I don't know what he is planning to do. There is a bridge between us. When I speak to him it seems like I am p***ing him off."
"This whole thing is rubbish, and I've put it behind me. I want to focus on better things. I don't know what Tshegofatso's problem is."
Whencalled for comment, all Dibetso would say was: "I don't care if he left or not."
