The dispute led to a maintenance court case, where the women argued that they had endured ongoing struggles due to his alleged financial negligence.

One of the mothers involved in the dispute claims that Buthelezi has repeatedly failed to meet his financial responsibilities.
“He is required to pay R5,000 each month before the end of the month, yet he consistently fails to make timely payments. Now, the amount needs to be increased to accommodate the growing needs of the child, but he refuses to comply.”

Buthelezi’s Response
When approached for comment, Buthelezi defended himself, stating:
“I have been taken to court because one of my baby mamas is demanding R12,000 in maintenance, which is beyond what I can afford. As for the second woman, I recognize her from YouTube, and yes, I do have children with her.”
