Khaya Mthethwa Remains Hopeful About Love and Marriage

Top gospel musician and TV presenter Khaya Mthethwa is opening up about his personal journey with love, heartbreak, and the hope of finding lasting companionship again. Despite his past challenges, the 37-year-old pastor says he remains optimistic about marriage.

Khaya, who leads Oasis Church in Umlazi, made headlines in 2019 when he divorced his then-wife, former Miss South Africa Ntando Kunene, after just two years of marriage. At the time, the news left many fans shocked, especially since the couple had been viewed as one of the country’s beloved celebrity unions.

Now, years later, Khaya is reflecting candidly on his romantic life — and his desire to give love another chance.

During a recent sermon at Oasis Church on Saturday, 19 April, the multi-award-winning artist delivered a heartfelt moment that’s since gone viral. In front of his congregation, he shared a personal confession about the challenges he’s faced in the dating world and his renewed hope for marriage.

“I’m confessing that the marriage train left me. I have lost too many great people,” he told his church. “Now I’m attracting rubbish. I’m now expecting the train to come back. That train — I was telling myself that it will never come back again.”

Though the moment happened in April, it’s only now resurfacing on social media, drawing wide attention and sparking conversations around healing, second chances, and the pressures that come with love in the public eye.

Khaya’s honesty struck a chord with many, especially those who’ve experienced heartbreak yet still believe in love. His admission reflects not just vulnerability, but the very real emotional toll of navigating relationships in the spotlight — as both a public figure and spiritual leader.

While he didn’t go into detail about what led to his divorce or the challenges he’s faced since, it’s clear Khaya is choosing faith over fear. He’s embracing the idea that love — real, meaningful, God-aligned love — is still possible.

Fans and followers have responded with messages of support, many praising his transparency and praying for the right partner to come his way.

As a gospel artist known for songs that uplift and inspire, Khaya Mthethwa’s life offstage continues to mirror the themes he often sings about: hope, restoration, and grace. And while he may have experienced heartache, he’s not closing the door on love.

In fact, he’s leaving it wide open — with faith that the “marriage train” will return.
