    Moses Tembe was Born and Raised in KwaZulu-Natal Province<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    Moses’s life began in the rural village of Jozini in northern KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. He was born in the region in the year 1963 to Mr. and Mrs. Tembe. The businessman comes from a humble background. His family was not the wealthiest in his community but a young Moses didn’t allow his background to deter him from aiming high and working out ways to become a prominent person.<\/p>\n

    Today, his efforts have paid off following years of sheer hard work and commitment in his journey to greatness. Unfortunately, there’s no further information about his parents and it is not clear if he has siblings. The businessman hasn’t shared information about childhood, his early life, and where he completed his primary and high school education. We, however, know that he is an alumnus of UNISA where he studied Public Administration and Political Science. He holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from the institution. He also holds a certificate in Financial Management from the University of Cape Town.<\/p>\n

    Moses Tembe’s academic degrees helped shape his life and career as a businessman and it’s so good to know that he got to the top of the ladder by applying most of the things he learned about finance and administration in his career.<\/p>\n

    He Is One Of South Africa’s Most Successful Businessmen<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    Moses Tembe is a key figure in the business community with interests in tourism, engineering, shipping, retail, manufacturing, property, and marine. He is said to have started his now-multimillion-rand-business empire with butcheries in the Durban townships back in the 1980s before spreading to other regions in the country.<\/p>\n

    Over the years, he has grown to become a force to be reckoned with in the business community. He has served on the boards of numerous JSE listed companies, including Beige Holdings, Santova, and the Mr. Price Group. Mr. Tembe has served in various juicy positions as well. Some of them include the Chairman of the eThekwini Community Foundation, Vice-Chairman KZN Business Initiative, Secretary-General of Inyanda (KZN NAFCOC), member of the Board of Durban Infrastructure Development Trust, and President of the Durban Chamber of Commerce and Industry.<\/p>\n

    In the course of his illustrious career that has spanned almost three decades, the KwaZulu-Natal native has presided over the development of several projects in his hometown. They include retail enterprises, the development of Richards Bay Eco Junction, the Point Waterfront, Suncoast, and industrial operations such as Geochem, Elgin Brown, and Hamer.<\/p>\n

    Currently, he is the Co-Chairman of KZN Growth Coalition and Economic Council as well as the chairperson of Phumelela Gaming and Leisure Limited. The JSE-listed company specializes in betting and horseracing. He also serves as a Director of the Durban International Conference Centre.<\/p>\n

    Moses’s contributions in the economic and business sectors have also earned numerous awards, including the Investec Entrepreneur Award and Ithala Business Award. His exact net worth as of 2021 is not available, however, his company – Moses Tembe Investment (PTY) LTD generates about $2.45 million in sales annually.<\/p>\n

    Moses Tembe Has Tied The Knot Twice<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    The South African businessman has so far been married twice. He got married for the first time many years ago to a South African woman called Lulu. He spent years with her before she sadly passed away. Tembe is currently enjoying his second marital relationship. He and his second wife Ntandoyesizwe Zulu have been going strong since they sealed their love for each other. Apart from his two marital relationships, there is no information about his love life before marriage. He hasn’t been linked to any woman both in the past and present besides the two women he married.<\/p>\n

    The Zulu Royal Blood Runs In Tembe’s Household<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    Moses Tembe is connected to the Zulu royal household through marriage. His second wife, Ntandoyesizwe Zulu, is from a royal home, precisely from Nongoma, Natal, where her father King Goodwill Zwelithini kaBhekuzulu was born.<\/p>\n

    It’s unclear how and when the two met and subsequently got married. Their wedding details are also under the radar at the moment as none of them has shared their love journey publicly. However, we do know that the businessman’s relationship with Princess Ntandoyesizwe began after the death of his first wife.<\/p>\n

    The couple has not been involved in any kind of issue (at least, the one that is known to the public) since they tied the knot. They serve family goals and are a huge inspiration to most young couples in the country.<\/p>\n

    Tembe’s second wife was born in the year 1976 to the late Zulu Nation monarch King Goodwill and his third wife, Princess Mantfombi Dlamini of Eswatini (Great Wife). She is currently doing great as a businesswoman. She co-manages her husband’s massive business empire. She is more than a spouse but also his most reliable support system and cheerleader.<\/p>\n

    A graduate of St. John’s Diocesan School for Girls, Pietermaritzburg, Ntandoyesizwe was previously married to the Chief of the Bahurutshe BagaMoilwa, late Prince Oupa Moilwa. They traditionally got married on 13th April 2002 at Enyokeni Royal Palace, Nongoma which was followed by a civil ceremony on 11th July 2004, in Pongola.<\/p>\n

    Unfortunately, their marriage ended in divorce after some years while Prince Moilwa later passed away at the age of 44 after a battle with cancer.<\/p>\n

    The Businessman’s Marital Relationship With His First Wife Was Cut Short By The Cold Hands Of Death<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    Moses Tembe’s first attempt at marriage was with Lulu Tembe, the first woman he showed love to as a husband. Tragic struck in 2014 when Lulu tragically passed away, leaving behind her husband and kids. The cause of her death is not known yet as her husband or any other member of her family has shared information about her passing with the public. However, one of her kids, Vikile, while setting the records straight at his sister (Nelli)’s funeral, revealed that his mother took ill and died. Vukile was responding to the rumor that Lulu committed suicide. He discarded the rumor, adding that the migraines people are referencing were a symptom of the illness she had.<\/p>\n

    Tembe’s relationship with Lulu was kept away from the public until the time of her passing. This explains why information on when they met and started dating, their wedding, and their love journey is shrouded in mystery.<\/p>\n
