In the statement, Guluva reveals that he wants to do a paternity test before taking full responsibility for the baby, but Ashley is refusing.
“We would like to take this opportunity to take you into confidence on the rumours currently circulating on social media alleging that Akhonamathemba Zwane, affectionately known as Sweet Guluva, is an absent father,” reads the statement.
The statement also reveals that Guluva has been requesting to meet the child since the beginning of 2025. Guluva also reveals that he's never met his son in person as Ogle is refusing to accede to the request.

@LomalondonP reacted:
"Maybe she was refusing because she was waiting to see the baby first. Why assassinate his character? I'm glad it's with the lawyers."

"Trying to meet a child since 2025, but the child was born in 2026."
@symply_kimm said:
"The child is his. You don’t have to look at that baby twice to tell."
@LomalondonP reacted:
"He has been making attempts since last year to be involved, and she refused. I am glad there is documentation. Why did the father post the baby as his grandchild and picmix the baby's pics with his old baby pictures if they were not looking for resemblance?"
@OOF84913 replied:
"I don't think she wants to have anything to do with him again."
@MMothobi30345 responded:
"Where was the child in early 2025? Why would you want to pay damages to the child you claim you're not sure about their paternity?"
@symply_kimm said:
"She just presented her child to the world, though! It’s not her fault people are putting 2 n 2s together."
