He also seems to be very different from other celebrities in the sense that while others always try to stand out in their outfit, Sjava has refused to put himself under such pressure, saying he doesn’t need to wear new cloth every day just to be in the headlines for looking good. However, in the past couple of years, the award-winning rapper has been in the news for so many controversies surrounding his private life. Just like Sjava’s success is obvious to everyone, so has the drama in his private life been, although he is good at keeping his relationships secret, the singer hasn’t been successful in avoiding the scandal that comes with keeping a relationship in the dark.<\/p>\n

He Had A Secret Relationship With Lady Zamar for Two Years<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Umana<\/em> crooner secretly dated award-winning singer Yamikani Janet Banda, popularly known as Lady Zamar. She\u00a0is a multi-talented singer and songwriter, who has been active in the music industry since 2014. Lady Zamar served as a guest judge on the South African talent hunt show Idols SA<\/em> in 2019. For two years, both singers maintained a tight lip over their relationship until a month after their breakup. While it lasted, it was obvious something was going on between the couple as they displayed their affection for each other in public.<\/p>\n

Sjava took out time to openly congratulate her for her debut album which was making waves at the time. This further heightened the suspicion and sparked rumors among their fans who suspected they were in a relationship. At another time, Sjava posted a video of himself and Lady Zamar in a rehearsal which again got the attention of fans.<\/p>\n

Coupled with speculations on social media, Move<\/em> magazine also received information that the two singers were in a relationship but Sjava responded by saying he doesn’t know the source of the information. He denied being married and said he wishes he was actually dating Lady Zamar. The Sharp Shooter<\/em> hitmaker on her part, also denied being in a relationship with Sjava when Phat Joe questioned her about the speculations on his Moja Love TV Show.<\/p>\n

Since both of them came out to publicly deny the rumor that anything was going on between them, the public remained in the dark as regards their secret affair. However, when in 2019, Sjava posted a picture on Twitter of Lady Zamar and himself looking like an item and fans began to congratulate them in the post’s comment section, Lady Zamar broke the ice by revealing in a comment that they were actually in a relationship that lasted for two years between June 2017 and March 2019.<\/p>\n

Sjava, who is good at keeping his relationships discrete surprised people during his one-man show in October 2019 at Pretoria dubbed One Night With Sjava. Just before the award-winning songwriter started performing, two women were introduced on stage as the women who were very dear to his heart.<\/p>\n

First up was his mother, Thandi Nkabinde, who walked to the stage in the company of another woman who was dressed in traditional Zulu attire. The unknown woman was introduced to the audience as Sjava’s ‘makoti’ i.e. his wife and that piece of information had tongues wagging. The introduction was made by radio presenter, Dudu ‘Lady D’ Khoza and as if to answer the questions from the confused audience, Nkabinde went on to say:<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t want anyone asking me who Sjava is dating. Here she is. This is Sjava\u2019s partner.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

She went on to thank her mystery daughter-in-law for the care she has shown to their family. Despite the shocking introduction, Sjava went on to perform in such a sensational way that thrilled fans. It would be an understatement to say that this announcement came as a rude shock to fans<\/a> and especially, the audience in attendance as no one knew the rapper was married before the show. At that point, South Africans were just coming to terms with his secret 2-year relationship with Lady Zamar which had just come to light.<\/p>\n

As expected, fans turned to Lady Zamar, accusing her of dating a married man and trying to break up the rapper’s marriage while others berated Sjava for cheating on his makoti with the songstress. Lady Zamar came out to set the records straight<\/a> in a series of tweets (some of which have since been deleted) that Sjava never mentioned to her that he was married. However, this would only be the beginning of a scandal that would rock the foundation of Sjava’s career.<\/p>\n
