In what comes as a shock to many Namibians, Michael Amushelelo and his wife Julieta have reportedly ended their relationship. The news was shared by Amushelelo himself through a post on his official Facebook page, where he revealed that the couple had mutually agreed to separate.

In his statement, Amushelelo wrote:

“My fellow Namibians,

It is with a heavy heart that we announce the end of our marriage.

We started our relationship as friends and we remain friends.

We mutually agreed to go our separate ways and we ask for your prayers during this difficult period.

With love,

Michael and Julieta.”

The announcement has left many wondering if the breakup is genuine, as some recall past instances when Amushelelo posted statements on social media that later turned out to be pranks or publicity stunts. One recent example was when he claimed to have been arrested, but it all seems like it was merely the promotion of his friend’s lawyer.

Adding fuel to the speculation is the timing of the announcement, which follows Amushelelo’s recent decision to withdraw from the Landless People’s Movement (LPM) parliamentary nominee list. Some are questioning whether the breakup news could be another ploy to draw public attention.

At this stage, neither Amushelelo nor Julieta has provided any further details about the breakup, leaving many Namibians in suspense.
