For the first time, Enhle Mbali has opened up about her husband’s infidelity that hit the headlines a few years ago. She did this on Tuesday night, at the inaugural In Good Company Experience Summit, where she was one of the keynote speakers.
“How do we as women stand here all month and salute ourselves for all this power when we cannot say on a simple situation that a sister did you wrong?” Enhle posed to a room full of women. “Yes, everyone is equally to blame,” she charged before pointing at her husband in the audience and continued to say “I love you” to him.
“A sister did me wrong. I heard comments such as ‘she thinks she’s perfect, even Beyonce gets cheated on’. My own sisters make their way to my husband’s inbox, in the industry and out of the industry. The very same sisters that I fight for.”
Enhle also took time to talk about her fear of turning 30 early this year, especially because she grew up in the public eye.
“This is the truth I wanted to speak of. How deep is our womanhood? Are we only sisters when we need something from each other? Are we only sisters when I don’t want your man or the job you have? Or the shoes or clothes you have? Where does our womanhood start and where does it end?
“I’m a lover of men, hence I married one. I like everything that men bring and I understand how human all of us are. But my journey here is to make sure that women understand what sisterhood is. The depth of how much we hurt each other comes from the fact that we are hurt.”
