Moneoa describes horror affair with Phiwe Maphanga
The Afrosoul sensation has been on an exhaustive hiatus from her music career. The last time she released a project was seven years ago. Turns out, Moneoa has been enduring unimaginable abuse, allegedly at the hands of a man she once loved.
In an hour-long Instagram Live video, Moneoa detailed the traumas of the past five years of her life.
She was allegedly beaten to a palp on numerous occasions, constantly devalued and invalidated, and fear-mongered by Maphanga who, according to Moneoa, had total control over her entire existence.
In one of the many violent encounters she endured, Maphanga allegedly bludgeoned the songstress until she blacked out. The reason for this? — as if any suffices — she was too hungover to make him breakfast the morning after a wild New Year’s Eve escapade.
“At some point he had his knees on my shoulders and his hands around my neck when I told him that he was killing me he said he would never kill me,” she recalled.
Moneoa also cleared the air about the infamous Range Rover Instagram post from 2018, where she appeared elated that Maphanga had bought her the high-end SUV.
According to the More Than You star, however, the entire occasion was a facade that was the result of the allegedy assault.
“…That is how the Range Rover came about. It was not a gift he bought for me because he felt guilty. He said the car will be in my name and he will pay because he would lie effortlessly and I would believe him,” she alleged.
In fact, Moneoa claims Maphanga never honoured his agreement in handling the vehicle’s monthly payments.
“He never paid it off. The bank continued to debit from me because the car was in my name, I ended up getting evicted because I could not afford my apartment,” the songstress claimed.” she revealed.
Moneoa further alleged Maphanga is the sole reason why, in the midst of turmoil, she lost home appliances valued at more than R500 000, an amount she has tried to get her ex-boyfriend to pay back without success.
Here is the full hour-long tell-all, where Moneoa details her alleged abuse under the control of Maphanga who, by the way, is legally married to Tasneem Motara, the ANC’s deputy provincial secretary in Gauteng.
