Sithelo Reacts To Sonia Mbele’s Statement Following Her Son’s Abuse Allegations. A woman named Reokeditswe Makete, who is believed to be the girlfriend of Donell Mbele accused him of cheating on her and abusing her. Donell is the son of veteran actress Sonia Mbele. So, she shot up the Twitter trends list.
In a lengthy statement shared on her Twitter and Instagram accounts, the former “Generations” star condemned her son over the abuse allegations. “I woke up this morning to a different world, a world I thought I had long buried. From the age of 17 to 26, I was with a man who was abusive, physically, psychologically and emotionally,” Sonia shared in a statement.
“I’m mentioning this so that you understand that as a woman who has suffered all kinds of abuse, I do not stand for support or condone such a stance. These are struggles I’ve spoken about extensively in my early career to encourage other women in similar situations,” she posted.
Sonia further explained that she was not aware of her son’s behaviour and wished Reokeditswe had reached out to her earlier. She “reassured” Reokeditswe that she has her full support and insisted that Donell must face the consequences of his actions. “As a mother, I wish she had come to me to inform me on what was going on because finding out on social media broke my heart. I’ve always been there, I’ve always been supportive. With that said, Donell will face his demons and take accountability for his actions and let the law take its course. I refuse to raise a man like his father. Rehab, therapy and internal healing will prevail,” added Sonia.
Sithelo who has also made headlines the past few months following allegations she made agaisnt Andile Mpisane, that he was physically abusive towards her, took to social media to applaud Sonia for the statement she made not siding with her son. See tweet:
MaMkhize on the other hand, took a different approach. When her son Andile Mpisane’s “baby mama” Sithelo Shozi accused him of abuse, MaMkhize slammed the claims as false and defamatory. She went on to say that nobody witness the alleged abuse. “I would like to categorically state that neither myself nor my family have been witness to any alleged abuse. These allegations are false and defamatory,” she wrote at the time.
