"What about me?" - Daily Sun

"Sifiso Ncwane gives away a fancy car but his angry mum says her fridge is empty!" - front page lead, September 21 2015

Daily Sun (September 21 2015) - SFISO NCWANE’S family has gone quiet about his mother, who allegedly lives like a pauper.

On the other hand, his mum, Fikile Ncwane (60) has been anything but quiet.

“I HAVE NO FOOD WHILE MY SON BUYS EXPENSIVE GIFTS,” SHE COMPLAINED TO DAILY SUN.

“You can visit my house and see for yourself that there is no food. My fridge is empty,” she claimed.

Sfiso’s manager and wife Ayanda Ncwane said her family has taken the decision not to speak to the media anymore.

“It has affected my family very badly,” Ayanda told the People’s Paper.

“As you can hear, I’m feeling very down. I can’t comment on anything you are asking.”

Only a week ago, Sfiso was seen on the front page of Daily Sun handing over a V8 AMG Mercedes-Benz worth R1,9m to Reverend Francis Anosike of Rock Of Victory Ministries church.

Yesterday, regional KZN paper Ilanga Lange Sonto reported that Sfiso has allegedly turned a blind eye to his mother’s suffering.

Speaking to Daily Sun, Fikile said she almost fainted when she saw pictures of her son handing over the car.

She said her son and his wife do not support her but will spend so much money on a pastor.

“I have been starving. Sometimes I go to sleep without any food,” said Fikile.

“This is my son, whom I carried for nine months. The son that I raised without support from his dad that was giving another man a car.”

She claims that whenever she asks for money from her daughter in-law Ayanda, she scolds her and tells her they had no money to support her.

“Sfiso was lying when he said he was raised by his gogo! I suffered a lot raising Sfiso alone,” she claimed.

“Yimina engangiwa ngivuka nale ngane ngiyikhulisa ngedwa.”

Earlier in the week, Sfiso said he bought the car for the pastor to thank him for saving his life.

He said the pastor prayed for him while he was fighting for his life 
after suffering a heart attack.

“I thought I was going to die,” he said.

He said he knew many people who had not survived heart attacks but because of the pastors’ prayers, he is still alive.

Sfiso posted pictures of himself handing over the car to the pastor on social networks and soon people started attacking him, asking why he would spend so much money on a pastor.
