Dingaan Mokebe and Tsholofelo Matshaba from Muvhango have a daughter together. Back then, Muvhango had the plug, and it was not just a drama series but a typical Mzansi lifestyle being beamed on small screens.
The onscreen power couple of James played by Dingaan Mokebe and Meme played by Tsholofelo Matshaba on the SABC 2 Venda drama series wowed Mzansi. Muvhango’s early days were the bomb when we had characters like the devious Meme, who gave Thandaza a torrid time.
The two were best-known for their intriguing personality. We can all agree that Meme is one of the unforgettable characters on the show, with her shaved head and cornrows in other scenes. Well, to many, it might be surprising, but it’s hard to believe that their onscreen relationship also transcended off the screen.
James and Meme did date after taking their story beyond the cameras. The two appeared to be in love, just as they did on the small screens. But there was division in paradise, and things went wrong. They ended their affair after only a few years, but they had a daughter as a result of it.
Their public breakup generated several headlines, and Mzansi was taken aback by the change of things. Following their fight, Dingaan accused Tsholofelo of denying him access to their daughter and labeled her a horrible mother and child kidnapper.
James attacked Meme for publicly airing their dirty laundry. In an interview with Kaya FM, James stated:
“I am very angry with what has happened to me. This pains me because I also grew up without knowing who my father was until I was 25. When I meet Tsholo, things will not look pretty.”
Tsholofelo Matshaba, on the other hand, dismissed the charges and responded with bold claims.
“What Dingaan told Kaya FM listeners were blatant lies. I’ve never deprived him of seeing his daughter, and Dingaan had never made an effort to see his child, even when we were together. In that interview, he forgot to mention that he used to physically and emotionally abuse me, she told the magazine.”
