“I am very disappointed and hurt at what Mandla has done to my daughter. I am not pleased about that. I said Mandla, please don't hit, don't kick and don't abuse my daughter for your own gain. Mandla consumed everything that Babes made, even the Black Panther payout. I want the world to know that Mandla was using my daughter for his own financial gain.”
