Orlando Pirates captain Oupa Manyisa is a relieved man after he won his paternity test battle against Thato “DJ Heels” Makgaka, the woman who claimed the Bafana Bafana midfielder was the father of her child.

This week, it was revealed that Manyisa and the child went for paternity tests three weeks ago to prove whether he was the father of the baby or not and, according to Sunday Sun, the results proved that Oupa was indeed not the father.

Manyisa told the newspaper that: “I knew from the outset that I was not the father of that child and Thato put my career in jeopardy with her lies.”

 

But the woman in turn accused the soccer star and his lawyer of “cooking” the results of the paternity test.

She said: “They know what they did. Do you think I would have done the tests if the baby was not his?

“I’ll never embarrass myself like that. I think they cooked the results,” she claimed.
