Caught in a crossroad, a popular YouTube couple have found themselves in a battle over the ownership of their KIA hatchback, with statements and legal threats flying after their recent separation.
The couple, Simphiwe Funwa and Njabulo Ndlovu, who are both known as Sweet Revenge and Boats Revenge respectively, ran the YouTube page Keeping It Real With Sweets and Boats.
According to the young woman, Funwa, who is believed to be in her early 20s, they jointly purchased the car for their personal use, however Ndlovu allegedly changed the ownership behind Funwa’s back two days after the purchase.
She further said that Ndlovu took the car behind her back and has not paid the portion of the money she spent when the car was purchased.
In the aftermath of the breakup, what was once a symbol of their shared dreams and journeys now becomes a battleground as Ndlovu has also responded, a week later, affirming that they were indeed engaged in a relationship and that the car was purchased while they were still together.
“The vehicle was acquired for my personal use, not for the relationship as she already possessed her own vehicle,’’ said Ndlovu.
He adds that he allocated a significant amount of money that included funds from their joint YouTube account which he considers his own.
“Our shared channel contributed to the purchase price and there is corroborative documentation to support this,’’ he says.
Ndlovu said he found it unfair to be accused of keeping the car under the guise of dishonesty and being held accountable for money that came from their joint account as Funwa retained items such as their camera, which she continues to use.
The decision over the car’s ownership post-breakup is now subject to legal proceedings.
