Skeem Saam actor Hungani Ndlovu stepped into the spotlight for a different reason recently — not for a role, but for healing. Amid his ongoing divorce from fellow actress Stephanie Ndlovu, Hungani attended a powerful men’s mental health mini-conference hosted by media personality Thando Thabethe on Saturday, 28 June 2025.
Taking to Instagram, Hungani opened up about the emotional impact of the event, sharing that it created a rare, much-needed space for men to be vulnerable. “We talked about the hard stuff,” he wrote, highlighting the significance of encouraging open, honest conversations around mental well-being and emotional resilience.
The event brought together a host of entertainment industry names, blending self-care with personal storytelling and emotional support. Hungani’s presence, given his recent split after six years of marriage, added a layer of raw authenticity to the discussions.
While the Ndlovus have largely kept the details of their separation off social media, both have acknowledged the healing journey they’re on. Hungani previously revealed he’s been attending therapy, while Stephanie discussed emotional recovery in the final episode of Season 2 of her podcast, co-hosted with Petronella Tshuma.
Their ability to navigate a high-profile breakup with grace — while still promoting mental health and personal growth — has resonated deeply with fans. Hungani’s appearance at the event underscored that men, especially those in the public eye, can and should speak up about their struggles too.
