South African musician and producer Bongani Fassie has been accused of physically abusing his girlfriend who he has since kicked out of an apartment the two shared together in happier times.
Fassie, the son of the late legendary singer Brenda Fassie reportedly turned on Buhle Sangweni, who was doubling up as his manager, after he met model Busisiwe “B’Queen’ Siqenu.
In an interview with Zimoja, Sangweni revealed that this happened during Fassie’s birthday celebrations in August last year.
“We started talking and meeting up, helped him to get gigs. I connected him to all my contacts for him to get back to his own feet.
“I was investing in a career, expecting to also be rewarded for my hard work, but little did I know that he only cares about himself and very selfish,” she said.
Sangweni claimed that everything had seemed to be going well until Siqenu came into the picture.
“Everything was going well, we were in love, we moved in together at his estate and we have been hustling and sharing responsibilities in paying bills.
“I won’t give her the platform. She literally started working for him less than a week ago, and in that time, she ruined everything. He kicked me out of the apartment and I am homeless as we speak. She turned him against me and blocked me from getting any access to him.”
Sangweni said Fassie beat her up after Siqenu lured him with promises of money.
“I was chased away like I never existed and humiliated. He even beat me up because of the R11 million he was promised by this new girl. She promised him sponsorships and also jumped in bed with him.
“I am currently homeless and humiliated by all his friends. They were rejoicing after what I went through to assist him,” she said.
Sangweni also claimed that she received regular beatings from the musician.
“He once hit me in an Uber on our way home from a club in Cosmo City, until I got a black eye, and my mouth was swollen and cracked. I didn’t open a case for him because I love him.
“Every time he threw tantrums, he would kick me out of the house to sit outside in the sun. He would lock me outside until he was calm enough to let me in,” she said.
When asked to comment on the matter, Fassie claimed he had never dated Sangweni.
“I was not dating her. She is crazy and she wants to ruin my career.”
