The legendary singer, Yvonne, has not only mesmerized audiences with her captivating voice but has also embraced the joys of motherhood. With four sons, born in the 1980s and 1990s, Yvonne takes immense pride in seeing her children grow into accomplished adults, each carving their own path in life. As fate would have it, her journey as a mother has extended beyond her sons, as she now revels in the role of a doting grandmother.
Yvonne’s first son, Ningi Mhinga, shares a daughter with Tamara Dey, a renowned club diva, songwriter, and singer. Tamara’s music has transcended age, culture, and race, effectively bringing together people from diverse backgrounds in a country as linguistically diverse as South Africa. Among Tamara’s notable hits, “Colors” stands out, featuring the talented DJ Zinhle.
Ningi and Tamara’s relationship endured for many years, resulting in the birth of their child in 2017. However, as with many relationships, their love story reached its conclusion. It is unfortunate that legal matters concerning child support became a part of their separation. Tamara filed a lawsuit against Ningi, seeking R4.5 million in child support for their daughter, Lalabella. A petition was subsequently filed in the Randburg District Court, urging Ningi Mhinga to increase the monthly child support from R10,000 to R20,000.
Fortunately, the former lovers managed to find common ground amidst their legal battles, recognizing the importance of their roles as co-parents. Through open communication and mutual understanding, they resolved their issues and have since developed a positive co-parenting relationship. This turn of events demonstrates their commitment to putting their daughter’s well-being above any personal differences.
Yvonne, as a grandmother, is undoubtedly a pillar of support during these challenging times. With her wisdom and experience, she offers guidance and stability to her son and granddaughter. As the matriarch of the family, she cherishes the bonds that unite them and embraces the joys that come with being a grandmother.
