Somfula told ZiMoja she took Chweneyagae to court three times, and even so, he was still not playing his part.
She found out in 2005 that she was pregnant with the 38-year-old’s baby, who allegedly asked for DNA results confirming he was indeed the father.
She said she had five court orders against the actor, but still has not received maintenance for their son who is currently in grade 10.
“I have five court orders against him, but he is not playing his part. I am not a bitter babymama, but I want what is best for my child,” she told ZiMoja.
“All he knows is to ask my parents for my child to visit him, when I am not around, and not buy him anything,” she said.
Presley ignored questions from the presenter and Somfula throughout the show.
If silence was a human being
