Heartbroken Zimbabwean Musician Seeks Justice as Wife Leaves Him for Pastor

In a tale of love turned sour, a South Africa-based Zimbabwean musician is counting his losses after his wife of one year left him and ran away with a pastor.

The Zimbabwean musician Sgodo, real name Alson Mandla Thebe, is now requesting a refund of the lobola money he paid to his wife’s family.

Custody Dispute: Sgodo’s Struggle to Reconnect with His Child

Sgodo is deeply upset and wants a complete reimbursement of all the money he spent on his wife, Buhle Ncube. In a painful twist, his wife has taken their child and is keeping the child away from him, despite his attempts to connect with them.

Adding to the complexity, Sgodo’s in-laws have asked him to provide financial support for his child and have rejected his proposal to have the child live with his own mother to save costs.

Sgodo expressed his frustration, saying,

“My in-laws were trying to drain me financially and leave me penniless. My child should be allowed to live with my mother, who is still alive, but Ncube’s parents are against the idea,” said Sgodo.

Complex Reasons Behind the Separation: Sgodo and Buhle’s Conflicting Perspectives

Sgodo’s wife has reportedly sent him affectionate messages and pictures while being with other men, seemingly to upset him. When asked about her reasons for leaving, she claimed that Sgodo was abusive and had engaged in extramarital affairs just three months into their marriage. She confronted him about these affairs, and he allegedly refused to cut off contact with the other woman, claiming she was the mother of his child.

In her own words, she explained,

“It is indeed true that I was in a relationship with Sgodo, it was all lovely that he went to pay lobola at my parent’s homestead and I went to live with him. Trouble started three months after moving in with him that he started having extramarital affairs with several women. When I confronted him about it he said it was his child’s mother and there was no way that he was going to lose communication with them so I left, taking my child with me and went to leave her at my parents’ house in Zimbabwe and returned to South Africa to work so I will be able to fend for her. After I had left the child, Sgodo started calling and insulting me saying he wants his child back or I will bring back the money he used on lobola. So I don’t know if that is how things are done since I gave him a child and I cannot continue staying in an abusive relationship with someone who doesn’t know what he wants,” said Ncube.

She also mentioned that she has moved on from the relationship and suggested that if Sgodo wants to have custody of their daughter, he would need to pay lobola for her, as the child is currently under 18 years old.
