Biography & Wikipedia
Gugu Mtshali is a prominent South African businesswoman famously known for being the partner of the then deputy president of South Africa, Kgalema Motlanthe, in the 2000s.
Gugu, like Kgalema, was a married woman when they first met, and the pair was publicly ‘tagged’ for having extramarital affairs. This ultimately led to the dissolution of Gugu’s 17-year marriage in 2008.
Despite the rumours, the couple made their relationship official and tied the knot in a private ceremony in 2014. Before meeting Kgalema, Gugu was working as Mathews Phosa’s personal assistant, and it was during this time that their relationship began to blossom.
Gugu Mtshali left her position as a personal assistant after the 2009 elections to pursue full-time business opportunities. Gugu’s business has thrived, especially since she made headlines in 2009 as one of the beneficiaries of imperial crown trading. She also co-founded Mothopole business holdings with two ANC colleagues, which is doing exceptionally well.
