South African forex trader Themba “Grootman” Selahle has made headlines once again due to his controversial personal life. Selahle recently ended his relationship with his baby mama and makeup artist, Gcinile Thwala, igniting a flurry of discussions across various platforms.
The breakup, however, took an unusual turn when Selahle demanded that Thwala return all items he had purchased for her during their relationship, including clothing, shoes, bags, an iPhone, and even a makeup chair from Take A Lot. The demand, detailed in a screenshot posted by gossip blogger Musa Khawula on Twitter, specified a tight four-day deadline for the return of these items.
This situation has sparked a wide range of reactions from netizens, with many condemning Selahle’s actions as toxic. The social media discourse is filled with humorous and critical comments, highlighting the absurdity of some of the items listed for return. Users debated not only the ethics of Selahle’s demands but also speculated about his motives, considering his known controversial past involving allegations of fraud and abuse.

ding to the complexity, Themba Selahle is no stranger to social media drama. He has been previously exposed by his ex-friend, Sabelo Nxumalo, who shared serious allegations against him. The recurring theme in Selahle’s social media appearances involves disputes and scandals, which consistently garners significant attention.
The contrast between Selahle’s contentious breakup and Malema’s romantic gesture provides a comprehensive look at the different facets of public figures in South Africa, where personal lives often intersect with public perceptions, influencing their reputations and careers.
As the situation unfolds, the public awaits further developments in Selahle’s saga, and whether Thwala will comply with the demands remains a point of keen interest. The ongoing discussions continue to emphasize the role of social media in shaping and exposing the personal lives of public figures.
