How much does Robert Marawa pay Zoe?

In a snippet, Lebo M said he refused to support his daughter with Zoe, while also being obligated to support Robert's son, whom he shares with Zoe. He revealed that Zoe had a court order and scored R2 500 child maintenance.

"I don't want my child support money to support another man's child," he said. "At that time, Robert Marawa was paying, I think R2500 per month, it's in the court papers, once the court started," he added.

Lebo said he supports his kids in dollars as they reside in America.

"At this point, I have 5 or 6 children, and they are based in America. Why would I send money to a South African bank account when my children are living in dollars?" he bragged.

"I remember I told Pretty Samuels, because this one gets married every seven working days, I told her, 'Don't believe him. You're the new victim.' But she wanted the money, I guess," she claimed.

She also said he is over exaggerating the amount of money he has, and uses a fake deep American accent to try to sway Mzansi.

"There is no money; it's a front that people need to see. It's the fake American accent because 'South Africans are stupid', that's according to him, 'They believe anything American,' so he thickens it," she alleged.
