Daily Sun (November 19 2013) - SIX years ago Mbali and Nondumiso were driven into each other's arms by Mbali's abusive wife. But while the couple have found love, they haven't found peace. BECAUSE MBALI'S ABUSIVE WIFE IS NONDUMISO'S SISTER! "I want my sister to forgive me," said Nondumiso Khelengile (26).
"I want us to make peace even though I took her husband. I have tried so many times to talk to her but she refuses and that breaks my heart." Nondumiso Khelengile was only 20 when she started her relationship with Mbali Vinindwa. Mbali is now 39.
The husband and wife divorced five years ago but even after all these years, Ntombizodwa Vinindwa (38) is not ready to forgive her younger sister.
"I speak to my ex-husband because he is the father of my children, but I will never speak to my sister because she stole my man," said Ntombizodwa, who now lives with her brother in Mfuleni, Cape Town.
Speaking to Nondumiso and Mbali at their house in Langa, Cape Town, the couple admitted to Daily Sun they started an affair while Mbali was still a married man.
"Ntombizodwa was angry, controlling and abusive," said Mbali.
"We had no choice but to comfort each other because of what my ex-wife was doing to us. My wife's abuse and her jealousy created a bond between me and my sister-in-law. One thing led to another and we ended up having a child together."
Mbali has two children with Ntombizodwa, aged 11 and eight, and has a six-year-old child with Nondumiso.
The couple hid the truth about the child but in 2008 Nondumiso and Ntombizodwa had an argument. In anger, Nondumiso confessed that the father of her unborn child was Mbali.
Mbali and his wife divorced the same year. The house was sold, Mbali moved to Langa and Ntombizodwa moved into the house with her brother. Nondumiso had moved to Engqeleni, near Mthatha, Eastern Cape but shortly after the divorce she moved in with Mbali.
That's when Ntombizodwa vowed she would never speak to her sister again.
"I would rather die than forgive them while they are still living together," said Ntombizodwa.
"While I was out looking for work I left them at home. Little did I know they were building their own family. As long as she is still with Mbali I will not forgive her," she said.
