DJ Zinhle, whose real name is Ntombezinhle Jiyane, is one of the most famous and successful female DJs in South Africa. She is also a successful businesswoman. But she is more than that.
DJ Zinhle is also a happy wife and the proud mother of two beautiful daughters, Kairo and Asante. Here’s everything you need to know about DJ Zinhle’s daughters and husband.
Kairo Owethu Forbes
DJ Zinhle’s oldest daughter is called Kairo Owethu Forbes. She was born on July 8, 2015, to DJ Zinhle and Kiernan Jarryd Forbes, who was her ex-boyfriend (AKA).
Kairo is an Arabic name that is a form of Cairo and means “victorious one.” Owethu means “ours.” Together, the two names mean “Our winner.”
Kairo is only 7 years old, but he is already acting like a boss and has a business that is growing. In partnership with DJ Zinhle’s growing accessories business, Era by DJ Zinhle, her parents helped her launch her new jewelry line, Out of This World, on her 7th birthday.
The little girl is popular on social media because she is creative and outgoing. Her paternal grandmother runs her Instagram page, which has 1 million followers and is full of good and fun things.
Asante Mohosane
Asante Mohosane is the name of the second daughter of DJ Zinhle. She was born on September 8, 2021, and her first birthday was just a few weeks ago.
“Thank you” is what the Swahili name Asante means. She is DJ Zinhle’s daughter with Black Motion musician Murdah Bongz.
Asante is also a well-known person on social media, just like her older sister. She has an Instagram account that is private and has more than 100K followers.
DJ Zinhle’s husband
DJ Zinhle is married to her longtime boyfriend, Bongani Mohosane (Murdah Bongz), who is one half of the popular music duo Black Motion.
Both of them have done well in their own careers, and they started dating in June 2020. Since then, they have quickly become one of South Africa’s most powerful couples.
DJ Zinhle had said in public that she didn’t want to get married and had even turned down Murdah Bongz’s proposal. However, in a recent episode of her reality show DJ Zinhle: The Unexpected, she revealed that Murdah had paid lobola for her and that she was married.
A few days ago, Murdah Bongz surprised fans when he revealed that the couple might be expecting another child when he shared a video on Instagram with the caption: “Asante younger brother or sister on the way.”
DJ Zinhle’s ex-boyfriend
Before she met Murdah Bongz and moved in with him, DJ Zinhle was in and out of a relationship with rapper Kiernan Forbes (AKA), who was the father of her first child, Kairo.
After a lot of ups and downs, the pair broke up for good in 2020. Even though the two didn’t say why they broke up, AKA did say that “there were too many people in the relationship,” and some sources said that Zinhle’s partying with Cassper Nyovest might have been a factor.
Even though DJ Zinhle and AKA broke up, they still get along well and share parenting duties for their daughter.
