Veteran actor Sello Maake kaNcube has finally spoken out following serious allegations made by his estranged wife, Pearl Mbewe, that he “exposed” her to HIV. According to TshisaLIVE, the allegations stemmed from an interview Pearl gave to Sunday World, where she explained how she found out about the actor’s HIV status.
In her interview, Pearl shared her concerns: “Three months after breaking up with the father of my kid, I went to test because I did not want to find myself carrying a child of my ex or jumping into another relationship without knowing my HIV status. My pregnancy and HIV results came out negative. So when he told me he too was negative, I naively believed him.”
In response to these claims, Sello issued a statement revealing that he is taking legal action against those spreading defamatory statements about him. He also strongly defended the African family unit, emphasising his role as a father and leader.
“African families are an institution. Those institutions are led. I, as the head of the family, want to assure all African families that I will not abandon the institution as a responsible father,” Sello stated. “Besides what is said about my family by a discredited, backwards, and colonised media house whose intention is to destroy African families, I will stand by the African family unit.”
Sello continued, “December being a family month, I want to encourage and support family units that they should not be discouraged and humiliated by those who are paid and motivated to destroy African family units. I am aware of the defamatory statements made about me and I am proceeding with legal action in this regard. This is to protect the African family unit.”
