Mbau immediately jumped in and said: “You are broke aren’t you!!!”

The Twitter exchange soon turned nasty, but fans came to her defence.

Mbau recently ended her 10-year relationship with Tebogo Lerole.
In July this year, the couple announced their split via social media.
“Guys, we have been here before, certainly words I uttered before … Our second attempt grew us even further apart,” the actress wrote.
“Tebogo Edward billion has chosen to take a different path and (I) have chosen to respect it and let him soar in his greatness (sic).
“And by this we are no longer an item.”
