Nandipha Mlombi is not bothered by people who attack her on social media.
“Let he who is without sin cast the first stone”.
Those are Nandipha Mlombi’s words as calls to excommunicate her from the Methodist Church of South Africa keep mounting.
Queen Nandi, as she is known on her social media, speaks to Drum in response to people who say she is bringing the traditional church into disrepute.
“Who are they?” she questions.
“They are sinners of note and I have their files. What is my sin, being rude? I am not rude, but I speak IsiXhosa. If they say the Xhosa language is rude, then that is their problem. Nyoko is not a swear word, it is the Xhosa word for mother. Injubaqa is an ill-mannered person. So how am I rude?
“But let’s, for argument, say I am rude. Is my rudeness a reason to be excommunicated from the church? No, it’s not. There is so much moral decay in that church. The moral compass is distorted. They cannot hold me accountable for language and fail to hold leaders accountable for the real issues.”
She says the Methodist Church has a problem with rotting from the top down.

“Abafundisi benza umbulo (the ministers are committing adultery). They are sleeping with people’s wives and husbands, breaking up families. They are also sleeping with each other, man to man and woman to woman. There are congregants that have aborted minister’s children.
“So, for them to be coming at me about language is really strange. What is also strange is that they are swearing at me in my comments section then people who know me come to my DMs talking about their scandals. So, this is all rich coming from morally corrupt church members.”
Nandipha says the people talking about her on social media also try to destroy her marriage by asking what her husband has to say about all of this.
“My husband is busy fighting the injustices committed against him by the church. He is very busy with real issues, not this nonsense they want him to comment on. He is also not on social media. He is off the radar, for his own mental health.
“Black women cannot believe just how happy and free I am in my marriage and that is what is confusing me. They are too used to the abuse that they face on the daily. My husband is a brilliant minister. He lives the verse that says ‘husbands love your wives’. That man loves me, he would die for me. I do not stick my nose in people’s relationships, and they should stay away from mine. We are good.”

She says people have been wearing masks for too long, pretending to be good, but they aren’t.
“They want to talk about my high slits or cleavage revealing clothes instead of worrying about their morals. They act holy on Sundays, but we know their scandals. The church has dropped the ball on empowering society, which is their mandate.
“They attack me on comment sections of social media, yet they say nothing about the rot in the church. Ndizakunithuka nide nilungise izimilo zenu ezi zinamathumba (I will swear at you until you fix your behavior).”
Her problems with the church started when her husband was not allocated a church to lead and they were being forcefully being removed from the mission house. She has previously told Drum that the house issue was a matter before court.
