A traditional family meeting involving the Shai family, Matshidiso Matilda’s family and other parties connected to the dispute surrounding a leaked private video has reportedly taken place, with the matter now expected to proceed before a chief for traditional resolution.
The meeting was held on Friday morning as the families attempted to find a way forward following the controversy surrounding a private video involving Matshidiso Matilda and Limpopo Boy.
The video, which circulated online, has reportedly caused considerable distress within the Shai family and particularly affected Matshidiso’s husband, Kelvin Shai.
According to members of the Shai family who spoke to us, the families sat down in an effort to discuss the circumstances surrounding the incident and find a traditional solution to the dispute.
However, the meeting reportedly failed to produce a final resolution.
Shai family seeks clarity over lobola
One of the key issues reportedly raised during the discussions was the lobola that had previously been paid by the Shai family.
According to the information provided by Shai family representatives, the family had paid approximately R85,000 together with three cows as part of the lobola negotiations.
The family reportedly raised the question of whether the lobola should be reimbursed following the breakdown of the relationship and the dispute that has emerged.
However, the matter is complicated by different views from the two families regarding the status of the traditional marriage and what should happen to the lobola.
The Matshidiso family reportedly does not agree with the demand for the money and cattle to be returned. Furthermore, they want the R85k & 3 cows to be devided by 3 and then they pay their amount because its not only Limpopo Boy who had an affair with Matshidiso Matilda. They claim, Clement Maosa from skeemsaam and Ivo suze, Umlungu should contribute, however demands of of the Shai Family is seen as disrespectful. They also want R50k for defamation of character, 6 cows for putting Kelvin shai’s life at risk , R4k for also not telling Limpopo Boy that she’s a married woman . 4k for sim2 .. the messenger has been reportedly laughing out lungs by their demands
Dispute over Limpopo Boy’s involvement
Another complicated aspect of the discussions reportedly concerns Limpopo Boy’s involvement.
According to the Shai family representatives, they do not believe that Limpopo Boy can simply be blamed for the situation because he has previously made a public statement claiming that he did not know that Matshidiso Matilda was married to Kelvin Shai.
That issue has reportedly become part of the broader discussions as the families attempt to establish what happened and who should be held responsible for the distress caused by the circulation of the private material.
The circumstances surrounding how the private video was shared and subsequently circulated remain disputed.
Matshidiso family rejects reimbursement request
The discussions reportedly became tense when the Matshidiso family rejected the suggestion that the lobola should be paid back.
According to information from the Shai family, Matshidiso’s family argued that she had already stayed at the Shai homestead following the traditional marriage arrangements.
The fact that the couple do not have a child together has also reportedly become part of the discussions, although the two families have different positions regarding what that means for the traditional marriage and the lobola negotiations.
The disagreement reportedly made it difficult for the families to reach an agreement during Friday morning’s meeting.
Matter now expected before the chief
With the families unable to reach a final agreement, the dispute is now expected to move to the next stage of the traditional process.
Members of the Shai family confirmed that the discussions took place on Friday morning and said they are now preparing to take the matter before the chief.
The chief is expected to hear the respective positions of the families and consider the dispute according to the relevant traditional customs and procedures.
This means that the matter is not yet settled.
The Shai family representatives indicated that they will proceed to the chief on Saturday to continue the process and seek a traditional resolution.
A complicated family dispute
The dispute has now moved beyond the private relationship between the individuals involved and has become a matter involving two families and traditional structures.
At the centre of the disagreement are questions surrounding the traditional marriage, the lobola that was paid, the circumstances surrounding the leaked private video and the involvement of Limpopo Boy.
Each side appears to have its own interpretation of what should happen next.
For the Shai family, the issue of the lobola and the consequences of what happened remain important questions that they want addressed.
For the Matshidiso family, the fact that Matshidiso reportedly stayed at the Shai homestead is being relied upon in opposing the demand for reimbursement.
What happens next?
The next significant development is expected to take place before the chief, where the matter will be handled through the traditional process.
The chief will hear the arguments from the parties involved before determining how the matter should proceed according to the applicable customary practices.
Until that process is completed, there is no final traditional ruling on the dispute.
The Shai family has confirmed that the Friday morning meeting took place and that they are now waiting to proceed with the matter before the chief.
The controversy surrounding the private video has already attracted significant public attention, but the latest development shows that the dispute is now being addressed directly by the families involved.
This remains a developing story, and further updates will be provided as the traditional proceedings continue and the families make additional information available.
