She addressed Mhlongo buying her a car, in her 20s that later was involved in a car accident leaving it as a write-off.

“Bahumi is not financially stable, Bahumi doesn’t have a place, she stays with me her mother, Bahumi drives my car… It’s good that she is hustling like any other child…

“The way the people want to portray Bahumi it’s as if she is this spoiled little child, who probably has a bank account that probably has millions, but no,” rebuking all those who say her daughter lives a lavish life.

Madisakwane, also detailed how she had to take Mhlongo to maintenance court, where he even denied paternity of Bahumi. She recalled how throughout the experience she was filled with embarrassment standing in court lines.

“It was so embarrassing but I had no choice. Even then, he insisted that Bahumi was not his child. He wanted a DNA test and it came back positive.

“While we were in court he couldn’t even look at us, he just looked away and stood miles away from us. When the results came out I just cried because I felt humiliated and disgraced,” explained

Mhlongo was responsible for paying Bahumi’s fees but it was a struggle, with her even being excluded from AFDA due to unpaid fees.

She went on to recall how when she was going through a difficult time, she had been separated from her then-husband and they didn’t have a home. Her other two children were living with her ex-husband while Bahumi lived with a cousin.

Madisakwane detailed how when Bahumi turned 13, she was still struggling financially and her ex-husband’s income supported the household Mhlongo bought 13 cakes and bought them for her school and she ran out of petrol as they were driving home.
