Anele hits back at troll labelling Alakhe’s dad a deadbeat

Anele took the time off her exciting New York vacation with her son Alakhe to tell an insensitive tweep where to get off.

Anele Mdoda is not one to be messed with, especially when it comes to her son, Alakhe, who has been trending on social media for living a soft life in New York.

The six-year-old grade one learner had Mzansi green with envy after spending time in the Big Apple with uncle Trevor Noah, visiting The Daily Show studios and meeting Nigerian star Burna Boy.

While many tweeps were loving the content mommy Anele was serving, there were some rotten potatoes in the mix who insensitively claimed the 947 radio host’s baby daddy is a deadbeat. However, Anele did what she does best and hit back at one of the trolls.

ANELE GRACEFULLY SLAMS A TROLL

Trevor Noah and Anele Mdoda are long-time friends and the two often holiday together, along with their other fiends Sizwe Dhlomo and Khaya Dlanga.

This time, however, it was just Anele and Alakhe who visited the American-based South African comedian.

With all the fun activities they got up to being documented, a troll commented under one of Anele’s tweets that “Alakhe is around everyone besides his dad.”

Not taking kindly to the comment, the host of Celebrity Game Night said: “Oh my love. I am so sorry your dad didn’t stick around and I’m sure you have many conversations that you daydream about having with him. Rather have them with the parent that stayed instead of bleeding all over the timeline of people whose fathers did stay. Happy Freedom day vha.”

Other tweeps also came to Anele’s defence when more trolls rudely enquired about the toddler’s father.

WHO IS ALAKHE’S FATHER?

Anele’s baby daddy is Thandile. She made mention of him in an interview with MacG and Sol Phenduka on Podcast and Chill.

Although he is no longer in the media personality’s life, he is a present father to their son who was born in 2015.

In a tweet in January 2021, Anele spoke about the importance of having a strong unit of men helping her raise her baby boy, highlighting that her baby daddy was not a deadbeat.

“I have such a strong unit of men who always surround Alakhe helping me shape &raise him. It’s so necessary even if Alakhe’s dad was not active (which he is) it would suck but my unit would have me. What I’m saying is if you have a friend & there is an absent parent… jump in.”

The two parents broke up shortly after the birth of their son, from time to time Anele shares glimpses into their co-parenting – like a pic Thandile sent to her in 2017, two years after the birth of their baby.
