One aspect of Tembeka Ngcukaitobi’s life that he’s successfully kept away from the public is his marital status. The bar ace has not revealed details of his wife or girlfriend – if any.

Tembeka Ngcukaitobi might be a public figure, but he isn’t too keen on the public knowing too much about him and his family. So details about his family are not available out there.

At any rate, he’s said to have a deep bond with his father, Gcinabantu, a mineworker, and had elected to read law to fulfil his father’s unfulfilled dream. His mother was a domestic worker and later a teacher at a school for the disabled.

Books

Among the best-known avenues to rise fast in the legal world is publishing law books. Tembeka Ngcukaitobi is well aware of this. So, not surprisingly, he’s penned several books.
