Phindile’s character as Nonny on Muvhango was not smooth. She struggled with dating as many admirer approached her for her fame on TV. She gave up one of her relationships when one of her ex-boyfriends accused her of faking tears after hurting her feelings. Since then, she kept off relationships for a while.
Phindile Gwala’s husband died in a heartbreaking road accident when her daughter Thato Gwalo was little. She later met Armando Ngandu, a Congolese model, at a parking lot of a night club in Rosebank, Joburg. After several months of texting and dating, their love bloomed. Armando appreciated their relationship and was always proud of their relationship. He had a daughter too, Lola, from his previous relationship.
After two years of dating and posting their beautiful photos on social media, Nonny and Armando got married, through traditional marriage. The wedding was a private ceremony which was on Christmas day. The photos of their wedding day are on social media, and even after the wedding, they still show how much they love each other.
