Sunday World can exclusively reveal that Mahlangu, who is popularly known as Jabu Pule, has red-carded his wife and mother of two girls, and the two are heading for a divorce.

Sources, who did not want to be named, said the former Kaizer Chiefs talisman lost hope in his faltering union last month after separating from Songame for four years.

The deep throat, who is privy to the couple's private lives, said Songame and the former Supersport United dribbling wizard have been sleeping in two separate bedrooms of their Brakpan marital home since 2020.

None of them vacated their nuptial pad because they both hoped that they would resolve their matrimonial problems, rekindle their love and rescue their floundering pact. But Mahlangu decided to end their marriage, much to the chagrin of his children and wife.
