Lerato Kganyago and Thami Ndlala Expand Business Empire by Allegedly Purchasing a Mall in Pretoria

In a stunning revelation on social media, Lerato Kganyago, acclaimed DJ and media personality, alongside her husband Thamsanga ‘Thami’ Ndlala, claims to have made a significant business move by purchasing "a few buildings and an entire mall" in Pretoria, South Africa. This news comes as another addition to the couple's growing business interests, which has garnered considerable attention.

Lerato Kganyago, who has been previously known for her impactful presence in the entertainment industry, notably as a Metro FM radio presenter and a club DJ, made the announcement on her widely-followed Instagram account. This isn't the first bold business venture for Kganyago; she was reportedly gifted the luxury boutique hotel, 12 On Hillel Villa and Spa, by her husband in 2022 – a venture she later clarified involved her major stake.

According to Kganyago's recent Instagram post, despite facing personal challenges this year, 2024 has recorded significant business successes for the couple. The posts did not disclose the specific name of the mall purchased, and subsequent verification of this transaction by relevant authorities or property records has not been publicly disclosed at this time.

Thami Ndlala, described by his wife as one of South Africa's "biggest business moguls," appears to be influencing Kganyago's shifting focus towards major business dealings, reducing her gigs to likely manage their expanding assets. The authenticity of their latest acquisition, including the mall in Pretoria, remains to be substantiated via official channels or further elaboration by the couple.

The community and fans reacted with mixed feelings—praise for the entrepreneurial spirit and scrutiny over the lack of concrete details regarding the purchase. This move, once verified, could signify a substantial scale-up in the business operations orchestrated by Kganyago and Ndlala, signaling a potential shift in the landscape of South African business ownership by entertainment personalities.

Notably, the couple has had past controversies around business ownership and property claims, especially related to the ownership of the 12 On Hillel Villa and Spa. These incidents highlight the importance of transparency in their current and future business dealings to maintain public trust and credibility.

As the story develops, the economic impact of such a purchase, assuming it proceeds beyond alleged claims, could provide a boost to the local economy of Pretoria, offering job opportunities, and potentially reshaping commercial activities within the region.

Fans and the business community alike will be keenly watching for further developments or official confirmations regarding this acquisition, as Lerato Kganyago and Thami Ndlala continue to make their mark in the business world beyond the realms of media and entertainment.
