Baby daddy drama hits Penny Lebyane

South African radio personality and anti-gender-based violence activist Penny Lebyane has taken thefather of her children, Alios Naka to court after he failed to pay maintenance for their children.

According to a court document, Lebyane said she and Naka were involved in a romantic relationship that ended in 2008 and they share two children.

Since their break up, Lebyane does not know where her ex lives.

His failure to take care of their kids financial needs has left her in turmoil as her home and household items were attached and sold by the sheriff after she failed to service her debts.

As a result the former Metro FM presenter has made an urgent court application in the Joburg High Court last week to terminate certain of Naka’s parental responsibilities and rights.

The former Metro FM presenter said in 2017 when she wanted to apply for the children’s passport, Naka was nowhere to be found.

She said she later approached the Randburg Magistrate’s Court, where she sought relief and judgment was granted in Naka’s absence as the court officials could also not locate him.

“We communicate through Whatsapp, text message and email but he takes time to reply, and when he does reply he makes false promises,” read the papers.

Lebyane also said she sometimes contacted Naka’s eldest child to inform him of some of the urgent things she needed him to attend to for the children, and he would send the child to do his bidding.

She said her problems were compounded recently when schools started enforcing that unabridged birth certificate be attached to the application form when applying for enrolment. She said because Naka’s details are on it, his signature on the application form is required.

“The same also applies when a child must be removed from one school to the other, they need the consent of both parents…” read the papers.

“I owe R189000 at the current school for both minor children and the respondent has failed to assist in making payment and, I ended up entering into acknowledgment of liability alone to negotiate a clearance.”

She said before going to court, she asked Naka to consent to relinquish his responsibility, but he refused. She also previously tried to apply to remove his surname from children’s documents and change their surnames from Naka to Lebyane but he wrote a letter via his attorney and refused. Naka ignored our phone calls.

Lebyane confirmed that she had taken Naka to court. “The matter was heard, so I’m waiting for the verdict.”

Ntokozo Mbambo on winning big at SAMAs & ignoring Kelly Khumalo’s rant

Ntokozo Mbambo and Kelly Khumalo

Well-known Mzansi Gospel star, Ntokozo Mbambo has enjoyed a year to remember, and she won’t let anyone, not even Kelly Khumalo, get in the way of that.

Ntokozo Mbambo made history on the SAMA 29 stage this past November when she walked away with three trophies. She won Best Contemporary Faith Music Album, Best Album and the highly coveted Best Female Artist Album. It made her the first contemporary gospel artist to win three awards on the same night at the South African Music Awards.

Ntokozo Mbambo

Although one of the awards stung a certain Kelly Khumalo (More on that in a moment), Ntokozo Mbambo has been focused on celebrating a never-before-seen achievement after her clean sweep. We spoke to the singer to discover what this incredible achievement meant to her and how she dealt with unwanted noise.

It was a night of celebration for Ntokozo Mbambo as her 2023 album, Lavish Worship, won Best Album and Best Contemporary Faith Music Album. Speaking to The South African, she revealed how it felt to walk away with three trophies on the night, including Best Female Artist. We’d call it a hat trick in football, but we asked what that would be in music terms.

Kelly Khumalo

She replied, “In music terms that would be a triad chord [laughs]. I am honestly grateful to God for allowing my music to be able to have an impact on so many people’s lives. When talking about the streams, my fans are just incredible and they make all of this possible by supporting me in every way. We don’t do this for the awards, we do it because we love what we do, but it is always great to be recognized for what we bring”.

There was one particular moment we discussed where, just after winning one award, she discovered (while backstage!) that she had won another immediately afterwards! “That was just so funny, we were backstage and the person accompanying me was just asking me to wait, probably just protocol. And then next thing it turns out I’ve won again! It was totally unexpected!”

The Sound of Revival star’s night was pitch-perfect. However, the aftermath threatened to ruin it all when her fellow Best Artist nominee, Kelly Khumalo, went onto social media to complain after losing out to Ntokozo Mbambo. Without dwelling on the matter too much, we asked Ntokozo how she dealt with that moment as the topic trended for days on social media.

In her opinion, it was best to ignore it all. She said, “In these moments I always look to God and ask God to work through me. So I was not compelled to do or say anything, as a team we also decided not to respond. Instead, we wanted to focus on what mattered most – winning three awards at the SAMAs and making ourselves, our fans and families proud”.

Now, the victory lap for Lavish Worship continues. When asked what fans can look forward to next she revealed “We shot a lot of visual performances of the songs on Lavish Worship. Now feels like a great time to work on releasing those in the next few months and fans can look out for more live videos like our 2023 Sound of Revival performance”.
