TV personality and model Christopher Jaftha has broken his silence after he was accused by Power987’s Pabi Moloi’s estranged husband, Ruan Adams, of allegedly fathering Moloi’s son.

On Sunday, June 22, “Sunday World” revealed the claims made by Adams.

Jaftha recently took to his social media platforms to share a statement, clearing up the allegations made by Adams through the media publication while stating that he will be taking legal action against the media house for the misleading information published.

“It has been brought to my attention that false and misleading information about my personal life has been circulated publicly. For the sake of clarity. I want to state unequivocally: there is absolutely no truth to these allegations,” said Jaftha in a statement.

He further emphasised how harmful and reckless the claims made by “Sunday World” are, affecting “innocent people” in his life, calling the claims a “baseless narrative” and expressing his disappointment.  

“Out of respect for my colleague Pabi and her child. I will not dignify the falsehood with further detail. However, I want to assure my friends, family, supporters, and the media that I stand firmly for truth, accountability, and responsible journalism,” he added.

Jaftha states that he has pursued the matter through the appropriate legal channels under the guidance of his legal representatives, Pranav Jaggan Attorneys.

According to “Sunday World”, Adams made allegations claiming that Jaftha cheated with Moloi and could have possibly impregnated Moloi in the process of the alleged affair.

Additionally, Adams approached the Johannesburg High Court with an application to compel Moloi to undergo a DNA test to prove he is the father of their child.

“I have suspected for some time that (name withheld) is the biological child of a television personality and former colleague of the respondent, namely Christopher Jafta.

“The respondent had a love affair with Christopher Jafta around the same time that the respondent and I were together sexually,” stated Adams in court papers seen by “Sunday World”.

In the article, Adams claimed that he entered into a shotgun union with Moloi when she was pregnant after she insisted that she did not want the child to be born out of wedlock. 

According to Adams, Moloi did not want him to be in the labour room when she gave birth to the child. She also refused to register him as the father and denied the existence of their marriage.

Additionally, Moloi has allegedly done her best to limit the contact Adams has with the child whose name has been withheld. This led to Adams doubting whether he is the father; hence, he now seeks a DNA test for clarity.

Moloi and Adams have been locked in a bitter and ongoing legal battle since the radio presenter took Adams to court to dispute his claims that they were married in community of property and that he’s entitled to half of her multimillion-rand estate following the breakdown of their marriage.

Adams alleges their marriage took place in April 2016, but Moloi filed papers in the Johannesburg High Court in 2022, seeking a declaration that no valid union existed between them, thereby disputing Adams’ claim to half of her wealth.
