Leaked Audios Expose Mai Nyathi’s Hidden Secrets – You Won’t Believe What She Said!
The Couple: Gilbert Nyamanhindi (21) & Joyce Manyara (20) | Status: Under Public Scrutiny
Humility, sympathy, and faith in God once summed up the fairytale ascent of Gilbert Nyamanhindi and his wife Joyce Manyara, affectionately known as the Nyathi Family. Their story was a refreshing script of true love born out of sacrifice in rural Nyazura and cemented on the shores of South Africa.

However, late 2025 has brought a storm that threatens to capsize this meticulously built brand. Explosive leaked audios suggest Mai Nyathi regrets their newfound wealth, stating "life was better in the shack." With cheating allegations swirling and a new business launch pending, the public is left asking: Is this the tragic end of a love story, or a masterclass in social media marketing?
The Roots: Nyazura to Mpumalanga
Their love story is hard to come by in their generation. Gilbert narrated how they met: "I first spotted my wife at a borehole, where she was plaiting a relative back in the rural areas... I later devised a plan to win her heart."
They became lovers while still school kids in Nyazura. When Gilbert moved to South Africa to work in construction, Joyce followed him, and they began their life together in modest circumstances.
Before the fame, survival was the priority. "We used to sell ice to motorists along the busy highway," Joyce revealed. Despite the hardship, they claim they never fought like other couples. "We always laugh when we reflect on the challenges we once faced."
Their breakthrough came from a risk. "When we bought our iPhone, it was a huge gamble," Joyce admitted. Moving from a low-memory Samsung to an iPhone allowed them to produce high-quality skits from their shack, capturing the hearts of Zimbabweans with their authenticity and simplicity.
Wealth, Management & Stardom
Realizing they needed structure, the couple was taken under the wing of Dr. Banabas Marambire of Barmlo Investments. He described them as a "rare breed" with maturity beyond their years. His firm even gifted them a housing unit in Nyazura worth US$10,000 to stabilize their future.
By early 2025, the couple claimed to be earning approximately US$25,000 a month from social media content. They tied the knot in a lavish ceremony in December 2024, attended by celebrities like Madam Boss and Trevor Dongo, solidifying their status as A-list influencers.
To celebrate their third pregnancy—announced while their second-born was only four months old—Gilbert purchased a brand new Toyota. However, critics argued this was a "premature decision" driven by societal pressure rather than financial sense.
The Unraveling: Leaks & Allegations
In mid-December 2025, leaked voice notes attributed to Mai Nyathi surfaced. In them, she emotionally expressed that "life was better in the shack (mukuku)," implying that money and fame had brought misery and toxicity into their once-happy union.
Another audio featured discussions about sharing property, fueling rumors that the couple was heading for a permanent separation or divorce. This contrast to their public image of "true love" shocked their 2 million followers.
Adding fuel to the fire, a woman on the Kumusha Podcast claimed to be Gilbert’s secret lover, providing details of lodge visits. Gilbert vehemently denied this, crying on TikTok and kneeling to ask his wife for forgiveness, blaming "enemies" and "lies."
Skit, AI, or Reality?
The timing of the drama has raised eyebrows across Zimbabwe.
In a recent joint live broadcast, the couple dismissed the leaked audios as "AI-generated" or manipulated by enemies. They are attempting to present a united front, contradicting the earlier videos of Gilbert weeping.
This drama coincides perfectly with the launch of their new CMD Fashion Wholesale branch in Mutare on December 22, 2025. Gilbert has urged fans to come to the opening to "ask questions."
Conclusion: At the end of the day, the leaked audios and the dramatic fallout could very well be a sophisticated skit or AI-generated publicity stunt designed to drive traffic to their new business venture. In the world of content creation, engagement is currency, and the Nyathi Family knows exactly how to keep the nation watching.
