Cape Town – Political analyst and Action SA member Brutus Malada seems to be at the head of a love triangle involving his new wife, Johannesburg mayor Mpho Phalatse and his alleged fiancée, Ntaka Tshifaro.
The ceremony, which took place over the weekend, seemed to be a beautiful celebration of love between Malada and Phalatse, as the newlyweds were all smiles, presumably thinking of how they will be spending the rest of their lives with one another.

However, the newlyweds’ ship was rocked after Tshifaro came out to say that Malada is her fiancé, having paid lobola for her last year.
The disgruntled fiancée was reportedly in shock after she saw alleged wedding pictures of Malada and Phalatse circulating on social media.
Tshifaro alleged that Malada’s wedding came just a few months after she left their Johannesburg Sandton home in September, reported SowetanLive.
The report said Malada denied he paid lobola for Tshifaro, saying that he only paid her family R5 000 for ivula mlomo (icebreaker between the families of potential bride and groom).
“Brutus paid lobola to my parents and uncles and he should have taken me back to my parents if the marriage was no longer working. When I received the photos on Saturday, I was shocked but it provided answers to a lot that was happening to our marriage since the beginning of the year,” Tshifaro was quoted as saying.
TimesLIVE reportedly attempted to acquire more information from Malada, but he did not comment on the situation. All he reportedly said was: “I have no comment…, I just want to say I’m happy I found my soul mate.”
