Scandal!’s Mapaseka Koetle’s Zanzibar Trip Has Mzansi Convinced: She’s Still Chewing That Divorce Money”

They say peace looks good on you — but in Mapaseka Koetle’s case, it also comes with a passport stamp and a cocktail in hand.
The Scandal actress, who finalised her divorce from ex-hubby Nelson Nyokong back in 2023, just dropped vacation content so luxurious it had Mzansi’s Wi-Fi buffering. From Zanzibar beaches to five-star resorts, Pasi served soft life realness — but not everyone was clapping.
As her snaps made the rounds on social media, the trolls crawled out of their data bundles, claiming she’s still living off her divorce settlement.
But Mapaseka Koetle? She didn’t even flinch. Instead, she hit back with a savage line that belongs on a T-shirt: “Three years later and I’m still eating it? Must’ve been a five-star divorce ☺️.”

And just like that — Twitter fell apart.
The Comment Section Turned Into A War Zone for Mapaseka Koetle
Some called her a legend for embracing the “divorce bag.” Others dragged her for “bragging about heartbreak money.”
@BuhleTheeBody: “If the divorce money’s still stretching 3 years later, I want her lawyer’s number ASAP.”
@Zanele_K: “She’s not eating the divorce money — the divorce money is eating with her!”
@Themba_M: “Mzansi women will turn anything into a lifestyle brand. Divorce goals now?”
@Mpho_4Real: “She earned that peace! Let her enjoy her settlement like a queen.”

From Divorce Drama to Soft-Life
Mapaseka and Nelson quietly split years before the public found out, co-parenting their daughter Nema in peace. She’s spoken about how forgiveness set her free — but let’s be honest, healing in Zanzibar hits different when the cocktails are imported and the Wi-Fi is weak.
And though Mapaseka has been linked to DJ Fresh in the past, it looks like — she doesn’t need a man to fund her glow-up.
Whether it’s her bag, her business, or that “five-star divorce” settlement… Sis is still eating — and feeding the timeline while at it.
