South African composer Lebohang “Lebo M” Morake is reportedly seeking the return of luxury items worth R1 million following the end of his engagement to American Tatiana “Besso” Dixon, with the matter said to have escalated to a police case.
The development comes shortly after Lebo M made headlines for legal action against Zimbabwean comedian Learnmore Jonasi, whom he is suing for $27 million over a joke related to the lyrics of The Lion King song Circle of Life. The composer has remained in the public spotlight amid both legal and personal developments.

According to a report shared by blogger Buzz Life News on Monday, 30 March 2026, Lebo M is attempting to recover high-value gifts that he allegedly gave to Dixon during their relationship. These items include a Hermès Birkin bag valued at approximately R500,000 and a Cartier ring reportedly worth over R300,000.
Sources cited in the report indicated that Dixon had travelled from the United States to South Africa to support Lebo M during a major concert appearance in Durban. The visit was expected to mark a significant moment in their relationship.
However, following the concert, sources said the relationship began to change. One source explained that there was no public disagreement or visible conflict between the couple at the time.
“After the concert, something shifted. There was no big public fight, no dramatic scene — she just pulled away, and then suddenly the relationship was over,” the source said.
After the relationship ended, Lebo M reportedly made efforts to locate Dixon and recover the items he had gifted her. According to the same sources, these efforts were unsuccessful.
“He’s been looking for her high and low,” a source claimed. “This isn’t just about the relationship ending anymore — it’s about what she left with.”
It is further alleged that Dixon blocked Lebo M on all communication platforms. Sources added that she also blocked members of his team and staff who attempted to contact her on his behalf.
Following these developments, Lebo M is said to have opened a case in the United States as part of his efforts to recover the items. Details of the case have not been made public.
The situation has unfolded alongside changes in Lebo M’s personal life. Prior to his relationship with Dixon, he had been engaged to Malefu “Mel” Ntsala, a relationship he ended before becoming involved with Dixon.
Sources now indicate that Lebo M has since entered a new relationship and is reportedly married to Nomoya Refiloe Dube, known as Moya. Insiders described the relationship as having progressed quickly after his split from Dixon.
The story continues to attract attention due to the combination of a high-profile breakup, valuable luxury items, and ongoing legal matters. Lebo M remains a prominent figure in the entertainment industry, and developments surrounding his personal life continue to draw public interest.
