The reality stars of Mzansi Magic's KwaNjomane are publicly airing their dirty laundry in public. Sbonelo Mhlongo has levelled accusations against his mother, Simangele Mhlongo, alleging that she is bullying them and is toxic towards them as children. Sbonelo has even moved out of their family home.
PUTTING AN ACT FOR THE PUBLIC
Sbonelo said their mother is always portraying herself as a good mom on social media while she allegedly subjecting them to abuse. He wrote on his social media page: "You're not acting like a mother at all. You act like a good mother on social media, but in reality, awuzwani nomndeni wakho wonke (you don't get along with your whole family)." Sbonelo further accused his mother of being overly controlling within the household, as the entire family, including his uncles, relies financially on her. "Do you tell them (social media followers) how you control everyone at home just because wena unemali and uyabondla (you have money and feed them)? Ntokozo Immaculate Mhlongo is tired of you as your eldest daughter and ingakho naye umhlukumeza lapho egcekeni (you are abusing her at home). She always calls me crying day and night. You don't tell these people all these things. You don't have a single friend because of the type of person you are, and that's why they have distanced themselves from you," said Sbonelo.
FORCED TO MOVE OUT
In his post, Sbonelo shows his soft spot for his mother and hopes things will get better. He said: "The whole family is concerned about you, and we hope you do overcome whatever past traumas you have with yourself. We are all tired, and you'll soon realise that the only people you have are us. The social media people will only clap hands for you," Sbonelo wrote. But for now, since he has moved out of their home, he gave her a parting shot: "Enough is enough. I'm tired of your insults. Can I please have peace in my life?" Simangele said she would not be commenting much on the matter but said the issue started when she told her kids that they should contribute towards the household expenses. "I know my kids don't get along - a lot is happening behind the scenes, but I won't talk about talk much on that because I am labelled toxic,' she said
