Maake kaNcube is said to not have only served his estranged wife with a protection order but also served “Generations” actress Letoya Makhene’s ex-wife Lebo Keswa with a protection order.
“She took the protection order, read it and threw it on the floor saying she is not going to sign it. Then told me she will ‘show me a ghost’,” Maake kaNcube told TshisaLIVE about how Mbewe reacted.
Mbewe told the publication that she did not sign the protection order as she did not want to sign something she did not understand.
The businesswoman went on to refute the allegations of infidelity levelled against her by her estranged husband on X where she denied sleeping with Keswa.
“Ordinarily I would keep quiet but I won’t go down in history for being a cheat and not only so but with a woman! What level of lunacy is this maar?
“I have more gay friends than anything and I was accused of sleeping with my gay worker and now this!”
People need to know when to stop!

To my family, I’m super sorry and remorseful for all of this and what it has done to the MBEWE name.
If someone told me 4yrs ago that I would be in this mess, I would have laughed to my death!
The couple tied the knot in 2021 but have been living separately since last July, now the “Champions” actor wants out. “I have never been a problem in my marriage.
“My wife has been the problem. The social media was managed by her. Everything that was on social media, every caption that was written, was written by her. I think I have a few that I suggested … but all of them, 99.9% were written by her. She was managing the social media and I was presented as someone who was happily married when actually I lived a life of hell.”
Mbewe has been working with Keswa on her newly launched podcast “My Journey” on YouTube. Keswa posted on X her strong reaction to being served, telling Maake kaNcube to “ Fotsek”.
“A protection order for your bloody insecurity because you think I F**K your Wife. So is the order for your wife’s vagina,” she tweeted.
A protection order for your bloody insecurity because you think I FUCK your Wife. So is the order for your wife’s vagina🤷![CDATA[]]>🏽♀️🤷![CDATA[]]>🏽♀️🤷![CDATA[]]>🏽♀️

Netizens love drama and here are some reactions to the actor headed for divorce yet again.
@Abednego082 said: “As a multiple divorcee myself, I stand with my brother Sello Maake kaNcube. I'm sad that your marriage ended. Go find another good woman bro Zee and get married again. The streets are not for people like us, and never allow fear of failure (divorce) to rule your life 💪”
