Breaking his silence on Thursday,ย Jaftha issued a formal statementย dismissing the claims as entirely unfounded. The media personality emphasized the damaging nature of such speculation, not only to his reputation but also to others inadvertently affected by the false narrative.
โIโve become aware of completely false information being spread about my private life. Let me be perfectly clear โ these allegations hold no truth whatsoever,โ Jaftha stated firmly.

The matter is currently being handled through proper legal channels with my attorneys.โ

Pabi Moloiโs Divorce From Husband
Pabi Moloi, a respected radio personality, has maintained her own silence regarding the paternity speculation. The Power FM host separated from husband Ruan Adams last year, though neither party has publicly discussed the reasons behind their split.
Christopher Jaftha, known for his television roles and modeling work, has typically kept his personal life out of the spotlight. This makes his public statement particularly noteworthy, suggesting the seriousness with which he views the false claims.
Media ethics experts remind journalists and content creators that unverified claims about paternity can have lasting consequences, particularly when children are involved. As this situation develops, all eyes remain on how the involved parties choose to move forward.
