According to his 23-year-old baby mama, Zakri promised to support their baby girl once she was born, but Zakri has not kept his promise.
The Tshwane North College student exposed Zakri in 2017 for failing to help pay her medical bills when she was pregnant. Zakri’s baby mama was kicked out of her home by her father, who didn’t approve of her having a baby out of wedlock.
“This guy does not take me seriously. I tried calling him several times after the baby was born, but he never got back to me nor sent a message,” she told Sunday World.
“Instead, he blocked me from sending him messages and calling him.
“I now stay with my aunt. I kept quiet for a long time, even when I saw that Zakri’s career was booming, because I thought stick to his promises to support the child. I am really struggling I need him to meet me halfway.”
