Fresh questions have emerged regarding the academic background of Her Majesty Queen Nomzamo Fortunate Myeni following claims that she never completed high school.

According to Tindzaba TaseMpumalanga, individuals who grew up alongside Myeni in Pongola, KwaZulu-Natal, stated that she never reached matric.

A separate check into national qualification databases reportedly found no matric record registered under her name.

Sources familiar with her background allege that Myeni used her late brother’s qualification when applying for jobs.

While those who raised the claims shared their accounts verbally, they declined to provide physical copies of the alleged paperwork.

Attention has now turned to historical employment files at First National Bank (FNB) and the Office of the Premier, where Myeni previously worked.

Reviewing those recruitment records could clarify what documents were submitted during her hiring and whether standard verification checks took place at the time.

If the claims are proven true, the fallout could extend beyond Myeni herself.

She has maintained close ties with a wide circle of prominent allies, including political associates from Gauteng to KwaZulu-Natal, gender-based violence (GBV) advocacy groups, and football club owners.

Substantiated findings would likely prove damaging to those who have publicly stood by her.

Myeni could not be reached for comment before the original print deadline.

If allegations of qualification fraud are substantiated, past or current employers may be required to review the validity of the appointments. In South Africa, submitting falsified academic credentials can lead to formal criminal referrals, with a fraud conviction carrying the risk of imprisonment.
