Kay Sibiya's sexual assault allegations
In February 2023, Sangoma and former radio presenter Zukiswa Vutela popularly known as Zookey Zarling, took to Facebook Watch to accuse Kay Sibiya of drugging her and harassing her in 2014. The assault resulted in the birth of their daughter Zia-Mia.
The former Gagasi presenter was married to a Zimbabwean man at the time and claimed she had never dated the Imbewu actor. She also revealed that Sibiya is a deadbeat dad. Her message says, in part;
This is not an expose. But a plea for my child to grow with the dignity she deserves and not in a shadow of a man that keeps destroying her name and dignity.
The battle between Kay and Zarling has been going on since the birth of their daughter. The Sangoma also claimed she became unemployable because of the paternity scandal. Addressing the situation, she said;
You've destroyed my reputation and all my hard work. So, it's not like I don't have problems. I do, but just ignore them and forgive, roll with the punches, heal, and move on so that I can be on top of my game.
In a now-deleted Instagram statement, Kay Sibiya from Imbewu denied being a deadbeat dad. He said he started living with their daughter in 2019 when the mother could afford to care for her. He also denied assaulting Zookey and revealed he had opened a case against the Sangoma for defamation of character, false accusation and kidnapping.
