He admits to denying Koketso access to the club, but says he did so because he was harassing staff, the suppliers and interfering with operations.

“Due to the behaviour, we got our attorneys to send him a letter banning him from the premises because they were harassing staff members, I strongly believe in addressing people legally and not taking the law into my own hands. He was never part of the business,” said Setsetse.

“I thought we were on the same page and things were going well, he was busy planning his moves with Ralph Stanfield on the side. I also sent him an email for the record, explaining everything to him and pleading with him to let the estate attorneys do their job.

“I have never kicked his mother out of the business. I’ve known the family for more than 20 years and I was always taught to respect elders. I was part of the delegation that worked on my late business partner’s memorial service and funeral from start to end.”

In addition, he denied taking full ownership of the business, saying he only owns half.

“I own 50% of the business and my late partner’s estate owns 50%, there is no way I would claim what is not mine when everything is on paper. This will be the current state until the current succession process is finalised, which the attorneys will conclude soon,” said Setsetse
