PICTURE: X/ JULIUS MALEMA AND FAMILY

The internet went into a frenzy after Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader Julius Malema and his family were spotted at FNB Stadium watching the Soweto derby.

Julius was accompanied by his wife, Mantwa Matlala, and their children as they supported Orlando Pirates.

This comes after the controversial blogger, Musa Khawula, spread rumours on his X (formerly Twitter) page, alleging that Julius and Mantwa are divorcing after Julius allegedly cheated on her. Another X user, @BafanaSurprise, also alleged that Julius had a boy child with another woman, while married to Mantwa.

This sparked debate among internet users, with some sharing how happy they are to see Julius and his wife together after Musa’s post.
