Robert Marawa’s Rare Photo With Son Awande Sparks Reactions: “The Resemblance Is Crazy”

• Robert Marawa posted a heartwarming photo with his son Awande on X, sending fans into a frenzy over how much they look alike
• The post came amid a very public feud between Lebo M and Marawa, with the music mogul branding the sports broadcaster a deadbeat dad on a popular podcast
• Mzansi could not stop talking about the father-son duo, with fans and critics weighing in on the timing of the post

Robert Marawa has set social media alight after a rare photo of him posing alongside his son Awande surfaced on X on Thursday, 23 July 2026. The image, shared by user @Stompzzz with a wholesome caption, had fans immediately commenting on how much the two look alike. The photo was captioned:

“Robert Marawa and his son.❤️"

The timing of the post was hard to ignore. Just weeks earlier, music mogul Lebo M had publicly called out Marawa during an episode of the podcast Engineer Your Life, which premiered on 4 June 2026. During the interview, Lebo M alleged that while he was in a relationship with actress Zoe Mthiyane, who is Awande's mother, he covered all of the boy's financial needs because Marawa contributed nothing. He went as far as labelling Marawa a "deadbeat" father and revealed details about the monthly child maintenance Marawa reportedly pays Zoe.
