Tamara Dey And Yvonne Chaka Chaka’s Son In Messy Papgeld Dispute
Tamara is suing her baby daddy – the son of Yvonne Chaka Chaka – for R4, 5 million in papgeld!
The soul singer has not only revealed the identity of her baby daddy (whom she kept a secret for the last two years), but is now dragging him to court for more child support!

According to Sunday World, Tamara has filed a petition at the Randburg Magistrates court to get Ningi Mhinga, Yvonne‘s first born son, to increase his monthly child support payments from R10 000 to R20 000.

The former couple are parents to 20 month old daughter Lalabella.

But Ningi, who works in France, is fighting back at the demands and is even going as far as to claim the extra money is for Tamara’s personal use!

The sports shop worker claims he provides his share of monetary care for his daughter including paying for her medical aid and a list of needs that Tamara provides each month.

He also has regular visits his child during which they spend time together at his parents home in Bryanston.

Should the court grant Tamara’s request, Ningi will now pay a total of R240,000 per year and will have paid almost R4, 5 million by the time the Lalabella turns 18.

Whilst neither parents commented on the case, Yvonne weighed in on the matter, seemingly throwing shade at Tamara over her demands

She told Sunday World; “She [Tamara] and the child are always here at my house. We always buy everything that the child needs, My husband does everything that we have to do as the child’s grandparents, We have not neglected the child, We always see the child because the child is part of our family.”
