She states that the two met in 25, and she fell pregnant. According to Alletta, after her uncles informed his family, Chweneyagae’s mother denied the child.

“We met in 2005 and I got pregnant. I found out I was pregnant when he had gone the US for the Oscars. When he came back I told him I was pregnant. He even asked my uncles to alert his family that I was pregnant but his mother denied the child,” she said.

Even after a DNA test was done to prove that he is the father, Chweneyagae still hasn’t stepped up. Alletta has five court orders against him but he is still not playing his part, as a father.
