Senzo Radebe, the award-winning actor best known for his role in Shaka iLembe, has been caught in a whirlwind of controversy following accusations from a woman named Dikeledi Mthimkhulu, who claims he fathered her child. Taking to social media, Dikeledi alleged that Senzo was a “deadbeat dad” who failed to support their child, leaving her to raise the child alone. In response, Senzo released a video denying the allegations, stating he has no knowledge of the woman or her child. “I have never dated this person, and I don’t have a child with her,” he said, expressing shock over the claims.
In his response, Senzo expressed frustration and hinted at taking legal action to protect his name. He shared his disbelief, saying, “I don’t know if I should contact my lawyers because my name is being dragged for something I know nothing of.” Senzo also called on the woman to provide evidence to support her claims, asking her to release a video confirming her allegations. The actor took further steps by revealing that her Facebook account is private, making it difficult for him to address the matter directly.
The controversy gained momentum when celebrity blogger Musa Khawula amplified the accusations on his platform. Musa claimed that Dikeledi, described as Senzo’s childhood girlfriend, accused him of making empty promises to provide financial support for their child. The post portrayed Dikeledi as a single mother struggling to fend for the child on her own, casting a spotlight on Senzo’s alleged neglect. The claims quickly spread, prompting widespread debate on social media.
The public reaction to the drama has been mixed, with some users taking the situation lightly while others expressed their support for Senzo. Many questioned the decision to air such accusations on social media instead of pursuing legal action. One user remarked, “Baby mommas are going to Musa instead of Family Court,” while another joked, “I hope you bought the child Christmas clothes.” Despite the humorous tone of some comments, the allegations remain a serious issue that Senzo is determined to resolve.
While initially responding with humor, Senzo later shifted to a more serious tone, emphasizing the importance of clearing his name. As the saga unfolds, Senzo has left the door open for legal intervention, depending on how the situation develops. With both sides yet to present conclusive evidence, the matter remains the subject of intense public scrutiny and speculation.
