Mr Brown and Itu Bokaba reportedly call it quits

According to ZiMoja, Rhythm City actress Itu Bokaba and Zimbabwean music producer and singer Lynol Siwela, aka Mr Brown have reportedly broken up.

A close friend of Mr Brown revealed to ZiMoja that the Rhythm City actress was unaware that Mr Brown was married and expecting a child.

“When she read an article, she broke off their affair. They used to work together and date. But it’s done. I am a little bit puzzled as to how she didn’t know that he had a child on the way.”

She would not ordinarily date a married man, the source continues, and she has been coping with the “long-distance break-up, but she will be okay.”

Mr Brown is reportedly back in Zimbabwe for a while after being expelled by Home Affairs for “overstaying and failing to renew his work permit.” ZiMoja adds that Mr Brown revealed he would like to stay in Zimbabwe and needed to return for the sake of his wife and baby on the way.

“I was staying in South Africa legally; I even have a wife and a child on the way. I went out to Botswana, then on my way back, I was stopped. I was alone. I overstayed, and I was then supposed to appeal, but I didn’t, and that is how I was refused entry back to South Africa. I can come back if I want to, anytime, but I am still good here. I am just worried about my wife, who is giving birth this month,” he stated.
