Cape Town – Actress Denise Zimba has accused her former best friend, Mpumi Mdluli, of having an affair with her estranged husband, Jakob Schlichtig.
Denise, who married Schlichtig in April 2022, ended the marriage due to alleged infidelity and lack of support for their two children.
In a series of posts, she revealed the betrayal, sharing photos from her wedding and calling out her friend for ghosting her during significant life events.
“These pictures land really different now. The day of my wedding, your speech, just two years ago. Little did I know,” Denise.

Zimba described the discovery as deeply painful, given the long-standing friendship since they were 14 years old.
“Nothing worse than finding out your best friend since you were 14 years old, has been having an affair with your husband and that’s why she always ghosted you when you were pregnant and never celebrated you — birthdays, baby showers, bridal showers,” she said.
