Reports: Mam' Ruby's lover still not over heartache

Johannesburg - Mam' Ruby's former lover is still not over her.

According to Move, actress Silindile Nodangala, who is known for her role as Mama Ruby on Generations,  was in a long-term relationship with aspiring KZN actress Phumelele Mthobeni when she got her big break on the soapie. That's when she apparently left her lover for the big city and never looked back. 

A source tells the magazine that Phumelele is struggling to love and trust again after Silindile abandoned her without warning or explanation.

Phumelele had even heard through friends that Silindile had been seeing other woman in the big city.

"This broke her heart. She really loved her and hoped that they had a future together. She wanted to marry her. After she got the Generations gig, she promised her heaven and earth," the source says, adding,"It's been four years of pain."

Phumelele apparently admits to the relationship, but says she got over Mam' Ruby ages ago.
