He has however pleaded not guilty. His case was adjourned till the 7th of October after magistrate Mrs S.K Matepo ordered him to pay .5million bail.

I know Mary Jane well. Not only did she fuck my ex-boyfriend but she was also fucking Mbunabo. So whether she gave mbunabo money or not…….love affair gone sour.
Mary Jane the money you brough back from abroad and your runs doing…. has it run out now?.
