Mona Monyane’s Brave Journey Through Divorce

Mzansi actress and producer Mona Monyane has bravely shared her ongoing struggles with divorce in a candid video, offering insight into the emotional and legal hurdles she’s been facing. Known for her role in the popular soapie Muvhango, Monyane revealed that despite filing for divorce three times, she is still legally married to her estranged husband, actor Khulu Skenjana.

A Journey of Separation

In a reflective video shared on social media, Monyane opened up about her journey, revealing that her divorce process has been far from easy. While celebrating her daughter’s seventh birthday, she took the opportunity to share the painful reality of her situation, explaining that even though she and Skenjana separated in 2020, the legal process is still ongoing.

“Many of you may be shocked by this news because I told you I was divorced. I did. I was calling it out into the universe,” Monyane said. “I filed in 2020, 2022, and now in 2024. This is my third attempt. I am still legally somebody’s wife.”

Monyane’s revelation highlights the frustrating reality many people face during lengthy and complicated divorce proceedings. While she’s been living separately from Skenjana for years, the official legal closure of her marriage remains elusive.

Finding Strength in the Struggle

Monyane’s candidness about her divorce process is a powerful message to others going through similar struggles. She urged her followers not to let life’s challenges overshadow their path to healing.

“One thing you will encounter in this world is darkness,” she said. “What you can do is not let that darkness become the priority of your life. You can succeed and live the life you want.”

She emphasized the importance of focusing on self-healing, no matter how difficult it may seem. Despite her emotional and legal struggles, Monyane has managed to stay resilient. She’s been raising her daughter independently and managing her finances without the support of her estranged husband.

A Call for Change

Monyane also made a direct appeal to Skenjana, expressing her hope that he would finally sign the divorce papers. “I felt this video might inspire them to sign the papers because they like to watch my Instagram and have opinions about what I post. I’m hoping their opinion about this post is that they must sign the divorce papers.”

Her bold message was aimed at getting closure and moving on with her life. Monyane has made it clear that while she has physically and emotionally separated from Skenjana, the legal process remains a hurdle she hopes to overcome.
