“We knew that you guys will pick it up. But it is not true that we fought over him, people are making it up because his football career is on another level. The truth is we had an argument outside the club over a phone call that she received, not because of that person,” said Lebese.
When asked about the restraining orders, he said that they resolved the issue and were sitting together as he spoke.
The publication reports that he, however, refused to give her the phone as he said that she was still in a meeting.
Zungu had not responded to questions The South African website sent to him at the time of publishing.
