Renowned actor Siyabonga Shibe, known for his roles in “The Sibongile & The Dlaminis,” reportedly abandons his mother and family, sparking a wave of concern and speculation.

Allegations Surrounding Family Disconnection

According to sources close to the situation, Shibe has communicated to his mother and brothers that he wishes to distance himself from them. The root cause of this alleged estrangement appears to be linked to a claim made by an individual who asserts to be Shibe’s long-lost daughter. Interestingly, this same person had previously claimed to be the offspring of the late Sfiso Ncwane.

Shibe’s brother, Nathi, revealed to ZiMoja that Siyabonga has ceased providing financial support to their mother. “Our brother has stopped buying groceries for our mother. He expressed that he doesn’t want anything to do with her, not even a bar of soap,” Nathi stated. The family raised concerns regarding the alleged daughter, but Shibe chose to cut off all communication with them.

Assets Liquidated for Alleged Paternal Affirmation

In an attempt to affirm his newfound connection with the claimed daughter, Siyabonga Shibe reportedly went to extremes. Nathi disclosed that Shibe has sold his two cars and a house in Ridgeway, Johannesburg, demonstrating his commitment to the relationship. However, the family remains sceptical about the daughter’s legitimacy and is unwilling to accept her into their lives.

The rift between Shibe and his family has escalated, with reports indicating that he insulted his mother and explicitly stated that he does not want her present at his funeral. Siyabonga is said to have stopped visiting his family home and has blocked all communication channels with his relatives. Furthermore, he has switched to a basic mobile phone while his purported daughter flaunts an iPhone 14.

Concerns from Colleagues

Sources suggest that Siyabonga Shibe’s colleagues are expressing concerns about his well-being. Allegedly, he has been consistently asking for small amounts, like R10, to fund his cigarette habits.

Efforts to obtain a response from Siyabonga Shibe regarding the family turmoil have been unsuccessful as of now.
