After abuse allegations were made, coupled with graphic videos of Mthunzi "Shogun' Ngani trying to break into his ex-girlfriend and baby mama Ashleigh Ogle's house, Lebo M decided to speak out for the first time. In a lengthy statement sent to Ashleigh, Lebo M blames his ex-wife Angela Ngani-Casara for this unfortunate incident.
Ashleigh accused Shogun of abuse which allegedly happened in front of their daughter. She also alleged that his mother and sister, watched him attack her and did nothing.
"This morning, my daughter and I were victims of domestic violence. Our home was broken into, belongings smashed and vandalised too. I did fight back to defend and protect myself and my daughter.
"His mother and sister arrived at the scene and watched him try to get physical with me and my daughter. I'm making these statement incase my home gets broken into again and something happens to one of us again. He has access to everything, including my accounts. Trust nobody," she wrote
She then distanced herself from anybody associated with him and said she wants nothing to do with them.
The first time this happened, everyone took it as a joke so I left it. This time my child’s involved, I’m not playing no more. You boys will know my damn name. Keep your terror for someone your own size, im not playing anymore.
Shogun, who also accused her of abuse, released his side of the story but was more sorrowful, “It’s heartbreaking to see how much damage we have caused each other. All I ever wanted was to see you become everything I saw you to be,” he wrote. “We were not the most orthodox relationship but God knows damn well we tried very hard. We both don’t deserve this.”
Lebo M jumped on to try and comfort Ashleigh in a four-part letter. He said he is not surprised that Angela did nothing to try and stop her son from attacking Ashleigh
“I am deeply saddened by the news about my former stepson Mthuzi Ngani’s attack on you, in the presence of your minor child. I’m not surprised that Angela watched and did nothing about it while in your bedroom, at your home. I read all your painful words and reflected a painful soundtrack to the gruesome video you posted,” he wrote.
“My deep concern for such violence on you Ms. Ogle in the presence of your minor child is a direct reflection of Angela’s violence Mthunzi would have experienced as a child and more,” he continued.
Gender based violence is a serious issue that has caused a lot of deaths in our communities. The recent story about GBV involves Mbuso Mandela who exposed himself for abusing his girlfriend, “My name is Mbuso Mandela, and I am a woman abuser. I put my girlfriend’s head through the window and through the trellidor, and I strangled her. She needs me to admit it so I am admitting it. In front of everybody. To everybody,” he claimed
But it took a very weird turn when the said girlfriend denied being abused, “I’m doing this video just to show to you guys that he did not abuse me. I don't know why...well I do, know why he posted that. In our angry little fight I called him on his bluff. As you can see there are no bruises. My face is fine.
“Not too sure where he had my head through a trellidor, but I’m pretty sure it would have been swollen. There’s the trellidor, no marks. You will notice that there is a small blue mark over there, but that happened maybe Thursday when I was at Saint.
“Bumped into a person, and got a blue mark, and I bruise easily, so as you can see, nothing,” she said.
