The bitter break-up between Lebo Morake and Zoe Mthiyane has taken a turn for the worst.
Morake, popularly known as Lebo M, has slated Mthiyane for denying him access to their daughter.
Speaking exclusively to Sowetan from Canada, where he is setting up a new production to take to Broadway next year, Morake said he was left with no option but to approach the courts for co-parenting.
The high-flying couple were engaged in December and in May announced their separation, with Morake saying they couldn’t agree with Mthiyane on a prenuptial agreement.
This week, Morake charged that Mthiyane was using their daughter, Lulo, as a pawn in their break-up.
Morake said as a committed father he had been frustrated that he has no contact with the 11-month infant.
“In the last two weeks it has just been a struggle, and it’s clear that her intentions are to frustrate me [using] the child, which is unfortunate.
“I have now decided to resort to the law. I’m going to take action with the courts when I get back home. I’m paying for the child and I need to have access to her. I don’t want to go back and forth, a deal must be done with the courts.”
