Faith Nketsi coos over baby girl as failed marriage bombshell bursts on ‘Have Faith’

First episode of Season 5 on Monday, 2 October, has left viewers in a shock.


Media personality Faith Nketsi blocked out the noise of social media trolls by spending quality time with her baby daughter after the first episode of Season 5 of her reality television show, Have Faith aired on Monday night.

The first episode focussed primarily on relationships. Viewers witnessed conflicts and tense moments unfolding with many commenting that the episode was very emotional.

In the first episode of Have Faith, she confirmed she had parted ways with Nzuzo Njilo and was now contemplating filing for a divorce.

“Just watched the first episode of this latest season; and I have a new appreciation for your strength as a woman and a mom. Keep your head up, continue to give yourself time,” said one viewer Solam Macatsha on Instagram.

Another viewer, Lerato_Komape expressed her disbelief at Faith’s marriage being over.

“I still can’t believe her marriage is over. I was rooting for them,” she commented.

Faith’s failed marriage

Faith married businessman Njilo on 10 April 2022. The couple welcomed their baby daughter in August of the same year.

Their relationship seemed to be off to a great start, but things soon started falling apart as rumours began spreading claiming Njilo’s family wealth was not all that it was cracked up to be and that it was allegedly not obtained legitimately. 

Nketsi’s husband is the son of the former mayor of Msunduzi Municipality – Themba Njilo.

On 18 April this year, the South African Police Service (Saps) issued a warrant of arrest for Njilo and Kwanda Ntshangase in connection with a case of fraud. The two were alleged to have masqueraded as salesmen selling a truck in May 2021.

A criminal case was opened against Njilo and his co-conspirator and Njilo subsequently handed himself over to police a couple of days later.

He appeared in the Port Shepstone Magistrate’s Court in April and was granted R30 000 bail at the time.

Faith Nketsi the doting mother

Instead of breaking her head about the trolls’ comments on social media, Faith chose to spend time with her daughter.

The influencer took to her Instagram Stories on Tuesday evening sharing a sweet video of her and her daughter spending time together and giggling.

“I love being your mommy you silly girl,” Faith captioned the short video clip.
