Somizi Mhlongo’s baby mama, Palesa Madisakwane, has dropped yet another bombshell, alleging that Somizi told her to abort their doughter.

Somizi told me to abort our baby’ — ex-lover Palesa Madisakwane

I was told to abort. When the baby was born he told me he doesn’t love the baby because he doesn’t love me.

“He refused to maintain the child and I took him to court. By that time I’d already started acting and I was already a known brand.

“It was so embarrassing but I had no choice. Even then, he insisted that Bahumi was not his child. He wanted a DNA test and it came back positive.
Madisakwane faced societal scrutiny, particularly around Mhlongo’s sexuality. Many speculated about their relationship, with some accusing her of trying to “trap” him.

“People said I wanted to trap him,” she recalled, highlighting the curiosity surrounding how a gay man could father a child.

“While we were in court he couldn’t even look at us, he just looked away and stood miles away from us. When the results came out I just cried because I felt humiliated and disgraced,” explained Palesa.
