An 81-year-old man, Isaac Dikgale has dragged his 36-year old ex-girlfriend, Boago Naheng of Moshupa village to court demanding genetic test (DNA) of the woman’s three year old child.
Dikgale, a Chief at Leshibitse village is not only questioning the child’s parentage but also demanding more than P100 000 that he alleges to have sent Naheng as child maintenance for a baby he is convinced is not his.
On his affidavit, Dikgale, said that sometime in 2017 , he got into a relationship with Naheng and had sex with her using a condoms.
The old man further stated that in 2019, Naheng informed him that she was pregnant. “She told me about the pregnancy through the phone but I did not see her throughout the whole nine months . In 2020 she informed me that she gave a birth to a baby girl,“ he said.
Dikgale further stated that he started financing the upkeep of the said child before birth by sending P2000 per month to the mother.
“She started to insult me after I brought the issue of DNA test so this year I stopped sending the money for support,” Dikgale explained.
In an interview with this publication after his court appearance at Kanye Magistrate, the old man said that he felt used because even during their dating days, Naheng was always busy and not giving him much attention.
“I paid for her to go to driving school when she was a bus conductor but she never spent time with me. She would go to Kasane and the next thing she is in South Africa for leisure yet she claimed to be too busy for me,” he added.
The case was set for hearing on May 17. When approached for comment, Naheng refused to go into details saying she will say everything on the 17th. “Leave my name out of that story of yours,” she said before hanging up.
