And just like that, chaos ensued.
South Africans, always ready for a good gossip session, flooded the comments section with their opinions. From playful banter to outright outrage, the virtual battleground was set.
One user with the handle @general_sport7 couldn’t help but add a touch of humour, saying, “You are rubbing in salt, Musa 😂🤣😅.” While @dingswayo_n observed, “Bafazi are really hating each other 😂😂.”
But amidst the chaos, one user, @rough_angell, tried to shed some light on the situation, stating, “Lerato also has a son with him, and they were separated long before he dated Thembi.”

Meanwhile, @toren_grey took a more supportive stance, stating, “But it’s her son and her Instagram. She has every right to show off whoever she wants to. Emhlabeni, it’s either waja or wajelwa.”
And @mamatheboys13 brushed off the drama, calling the Lerato and Collen saga “old and expired news 😏.”
Of course, there were those who couldn’t resist pointing out the resemblance between Dakalo and Lerato’s son. @tee_rabinda exclaimed, “Yooh, and he does look like Lerato’s son 😩.”
To truly understand the gravity of this situation, we need to delve into the history of these three individuals. Lerato Moloi, who was once Thembi’s best friend, was married to Collen Mashawana for several years. They were the epitome of couple goals, with their love story captivating fans across the nation.
However, their fairytale romance came to a screeching halt with a divorce that left many wondering what went wrong. Rumours circulated that Collen’s infidelity played a role in the dissolution of their marriage.
Fast forward a few years, and the truth came to light. Thembi and Collen had not only entered into a relationship but had also moved in together and started a family. It was a shock to many, as their relationship had remained a well-guarded secret until their eventual separation.
While the drama continues to unfold, it’s important to remember that relationships are complex, and there are often multiple sides to a story. It’s easy for outsiders to pass judgment, but we must respect the choices and experiences of those involved.
As for Thembi Seete, she remains unapologetic about sharing her son’s life with the world. After all, it’s her son, her Instagram, and her right to show off the people she loves.
