Unveiling Mandy Malebo’s Struggles
Throughout the past years, Mandy Malebo often expressed her grievances about her ex-partner and the father of her child, Mondli Ngcobo. Since 2022, she had been vocal about Mondli’s purported neglect, citing a mere R1,500 in child support payments and accusing him of being an absentee father to their son, Khanya.
One poignant post from July 2022 saw Mandy vowing Mondli would find no peace until he made time for their child. Alleging that Mondli used the minimal child support contribution as an excuse for his absence, Mandy revealed that Khanya had only met his father, who happens to be Kelly Khumalo’s music producer, once when he was a year old. The couple had parted ways during pregnancy.
She also once opened up about her mother being abusive in a video that has recently surfaced on X. The social media influencer was crying in the video, sharing that her mother was manipulating her and wanted her to go through abuse.
