South African actress and public figure Mona Monyane has revealed that her estranged husband, fellow actor Khulu Skenjana, has accused her of sexually grooming their child and threatened to take the child away from her forever.
Monyane says she has endured relentless verbal and emotional abuse from Skenjana, who she claims is refusing to sign their divorce settlement. She has been speaking out since Friday and continued into Saturday afternoon, expressing how tired she is of protecting him.
“The amount of trauma I have had to experience at the hands of someone who once claimed to love me has changed the molecular structure of my brain, my heart, and my being. You only know about me what I choose to share. I now choose to share more,” she wrote on Instagram.
Monyane says that speaking out publicly is part of her healing journey and marks the end of her silence.
“I want every woman who is not compassionate to this journey to kindly leave me alone. To those who are of support, thank you. The journey”.
The actress revealed that she missed out on two years of her child’s life after Skenjana claimed she was a threat to their daughter.
She also shared screenshots of messages between Skenjana and his customary wife, alleging that he is abusive toward everyone he claims to love.
Monyane added that she received permission from the customary wife to release the messages, which allegedly show Skenjana threatening to take that child away as well.
“For those who want to silence me, this is how he speaks to the woman he paid lobola for, regardless of the fact that he is still married to me. I’m so proud of her for leaving him. We have a relationship where our children can still chat,” Monyane wrote.
Khulu has not addressed these allegations, but he put up a post on his Instagram stories that reads as follows:
“You don’t always have to tell your side of the story, time will. Matching energy is why everybody’s miserable. You don’t clean dirt with dirt”.
