Mbokazi-Nkambule is a lay preacher, gives motivational talks on marriages and sets herself up a paragon of conjugal virtue. The affair allegedly happened from late December 2009 to late in the first quarter of 2010.
Ramphenyane, then a leading businessman in capital investments and telecoms, has since fallen prey to a mysterious attack that put him in a vegetative state.
He suffered a mysterious blow to his head in 2010.
At the hospital the doctors seem to have misread the extent of the damage caused by the gash to his head and treated him as an outpatient.
He collapsed after stepping outside the hospital to go to his car (he had driven himself to the hospital). He is still in a vegetative state in the intensive care unit.
Mbokazi-Nkambule met Ramphenyane at the Saxon Hotel in mid-December 2009 after the latter's delegation had expressed interest in investing in Mbokazi-Nkambule's gospel projects.
After this meeting the pair fell madly in love - so much so that Ramphenyane would book weekly stays at The Oyster Box Hotel in Umhlanga, Durban North, where he allegedly had illicit rendezvous with Mbokazi-Nkambule, then a divorced single mom, behind the back of his wife of 10 years, Petunia.
"Our client finds your conduct in making allegations that she was involved in an improper relationship with one Vincent Reabetswe Ramphenyane to be quite tragic and very insensitive.
"You clearly have ulterior motives in pursuing allegations like these well knowing the hurt it can cause to an already distraught and grieving family in view of Mr Ramphenyane's illness," said lawyers representing Mbokazi-Nkambule.
Various sources familiar with Ramphenyane have confirmed the illicit affair.
One source, who was present at Mbokazi-Nkambule with Ramphenyane's first meeting at the Saxon Hotel from December 2009 onwards, says that when she was in love with Ramphenyane she was in the habit of saying: "This year I'm going to make one man very happy.
"He's unhappy at present" (referring to his marriage).
She also says that Mbokazi-Nkambule had planned a wedding with Ramphenyane, which was supposed to take place in December 2010.
Capetonian music promoter China Mpololo, who is close to Mbokazi-Nkambule, has since confirmed that the latter knows Ramphenyane, but denies the affair.
"Zanele said that she was close friends with him," says Mpololo, who had been prevailed upon to intervene with Sunday World to influence us not to pursue the story of Mbokazi-Nkambule breaking the seventh commandment.
We contacted "Prophet" Bheki Moloi, who preaches in various churches around the country, to ask him whether he knew of Ramphenyane.
The name of Mbokazi-Nkambule was not mentioned. He then telephoned the latter to tell her Sunday World was investigating her extra-marital affair.

There are no lies from this SW publication of this story if Mbokazi is adamant that she did not commit adultery with the businessman then she would not waste her money in courts trying to prevent SW from writing the story.You are just a loser yourself just like her.

In the bible there were few people who were given the title `Prophet` but these days everyone calls himself a prophet. What is it that there are prophetising. These days you find in one street with three prophets, they all claim to use their powers on a Sunday. Are they all false prophet?

We once warned her about her love for the media. It will take you up there and you become a Chamza of the year, you remember. The media dont forget that what goes up must be helped to come down quicker.

I fail to understand if this is realy worth reading about, worse if it deserved front page. Zanele is human and she was single at the time. Why not consider news that will assist with progressing umuntu omnyama...
