'I refuse to raise my children in a lie' - The Dandalas call it quits
Without trying much, they made a lot of people believe in love again.
'Nxcaw' and 'sbwl' were constant sentiments in their comment section as they grew in their love.
From being high school sweethearts, soldiering through the loss of their first child to going on to get married, moving into their first home and having two more beautiful daughters, they were an epitome of young, black, successful love.
Mandisa and Kuhle Dandala's love story were also featured on Defining Love, a famous Youtube channel that documents couple's journeys through hardships amongst other things.
But as fate would have it, the Youtube couple have now faced a brick wall, leaving their day one supporters disappointed.

Taking it to her Instagram to announce the news, Mandisa said, 'After deep reflection and painful truth, I've chosen to end my marriage with the man who forgot what commitment means. It's not a choice I made lightly – but loyalty, love and trust are non-negotiables. I refuse to raise my children in a lie or let them think betrayal is love. My children will grow up seeing their mother choose strength over silence and self-worth over betrayal'.
'To the man who broke his vows: thank you for the lesson in self-respect, because now I walk stronger, smarter and unshakably clear on what I will never tolerate again,' it further reads.
While it was noticeable how much they had slacked in creating content together, posting each other, no one had seen it coming.

'I won't speak on his choices – they speak for themselves. I'll speak on mine: I choose healing, I choose peace. I choose a life where love is honest. Here's to turning heartbreak into power, and broken trust into beautiful boundaries. Lastly, to everyone else: I'm not broken, I'm becoming.'
Mandisa concluded her note by thanking all the supporters of their love.
Many applauded her for making the decision of choosing herself and her children over 'uk'bekezela' (enduring through pain).

Michelle Obama compares ESPN theatrics to watching ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta'
It is no secret that ESPN programming looks a lot different now than it did even 10 or so years ago.

Advertisement Such changes have even grabbed former first lady Michelle Obama's attention, who said she cannot help but feel like she is watching reality television when she turns on the channel. 'It's all a sociological study. They think that sports is better reality TV, I'm like, 'it's the same thing.' If I listen to ESPN for an hour, it's like watching the 'Real Housewives of Atlanta,' you know?' Obama said on her brother Craig's 'IMO' podcast.

Smith, he's just like every other…' Michelle Obama on her podcast 'IMO' talking about how ESPN is reality tv.

'They still have the same arguments, you know, and it's not just women. But this happens in sports, too. I find it fascinating.' 'It's all a sociological study.
