Former Orlando Pirates player, Thulasizwe "Juju" Mbuyane, is allegedly living the high life while his mum lives from hand to mouth, it has been claimed.
Mbuyane mum, Sonto shares her four-roomed house with Mbuyane's three sisters and her five grandchildren.
Neighbours said it's sad to see Mbuyane's mum living in these conditions despite her son's success.
One of the neighbours said: "The situation is so bad that his mum survives by sewing church regalia.
"The toilet at her home is not working. They're using a mobile toilet."
Another neighbour claimed Mbuyane last visited his mum in 2013 and only comes to Mamelodi to visit his son.
"His mum is suffering while he's living large. The toilet hasn't worked for months, but her son is a celebrity."
Sonto said: "I don't like to speak about my son."
However, Mbuyane's sister, Jane, said: "It's like we don't exist in his life. He doesn't visit his mum often.
"He only comes to see his son."
Mbuyane denied the allegations saying that his mum visits him and he also visits her in Mamelodi.
"I do go to Mamelodi to see my son and my mum," he said.
