Popular Mommy Club season three cast member Pheladi Madungandaba has been accused by her ex-husband of seemingly duping him into entering into a shot gun marriage with her after she lied to him about the paternity of their child.

Madungandaba stunned the viewers of the show when she revealed that she walked out of her matrimony empty-handed after she divorced her husband, a Pretoria businessman, in March 2022, whom she wedded in 2016.

After the divorce, Madungandaba told one of their children, who visited her at her new home, that the businessman, who cannot be named to protect the identity of the child, was not her father.

She then allegedly took the child to a cemetery and showed the kid a grave she claimed was that of the kid's biological father who “was shot and killed by a bad man”.

The hair-raising titbits are contained in a cease and desist letter sent to Madungandaba by her ex-husband's lawyers, Johan van de Vyver Attorneys, in which they are warning her to refrain from poisoning the child's well-being with such allegations.

"We further confirm that you were formerly married to our client, which marriage was dissolved by an order of court on March 24, 2022," reads the letter.

"Our instructions are to convey the following to you [that] the minor child, with identity number ... was born on..., whereas the marriage between yourself and our client was contracted on December 22, 2016.
