South Africa-based actress Mbo Mahocs’ mother wept in court as she demanded spousal support from her husband.

Mbo Mahocs’ whose real name is Mbonisi Mahonondo shot to fame after featuring on popular SA soapie Scandal. The Chronicle reports that her mother Mrs Lucia Mahonondo is claiming $300 from her husband, Mr Marshall Mahonondo.

“I fell sick in 2015, I have epilepsy because of the stress I get from my husband. He no longer takes care of me the way he used to. He disappears from home during weekends, he doesn’t buy groceries and hides his pay slip from me. I need money for medication and I’m no longer employed because of my illness. However, my husband doesn’t take care of all my needs,” said a teary Mrs Mahonondo.

Her husband, a Bulawayo City Council employee, shot back saying Mrs Mahonondo took about $6 500 from him and travelled to South Africa four years ago without explanation.

“She took $6 500 from me and travelled to South Africa to live at her family home. She recently returned and now she wants more money.

“I can’t offer her anything, we live together and I cater for her medical bills yet she doesn’t appreciate all that I’m doing. If I was someone else, I could’ve divorced her but because of the illness I can’t do that. I have a child in university who l’m supporting therefore I honestly can’t offer anything.

Mrs Mahonondo broke down and wept. While she was crying, she fell down to the floor and immediately had a minor epileptic attack, leaving a packed court house stunned.
The magistrate, Ms Ulukile Mlea, ordered Mr Mahonondo to pay $150 as spousal maintenance for his wife.
