Donelle Mbele (23) is the son of the well known business woman and actor, Sonia Mbele.
The rape allegations stem from an incident shared by his Eswatini girlfriend on Instagram.
Tamia Car-valho accused him of assaulting her one the 15th of December 2024, providing conversations she had with Donelle as a proof that she is not lying.
Three years ago Donelle appeared in court for physical assault to his now ex-girlfriend, Reokeditswe.
