“The matter has received mixed public attention, causing a great deal of emotional stress on both parties involved. It is on this basis that the parties have elected to resolve this matter privately through their respective management and legal teams.”

“Consequently, Phongolo has since withdrawn the charges laid against Sekowe,” reads the statement that was issued by local actress Thuli Phongolo and DJ Maphorisa on Monday this week.

According to her, couples need their own courts to deal with these kinds of matters because “they don’t mind being in the back-and-forth abusive relationships.”

“It completely undermines genuine cases because clearly, you guys don’t mind being in the back-and-forth abusive relationships, but it actually does matter in society.

People seemingly agree with Ntsiki and have shared their thoughts in her comment section.

“It’s so annoying and a waste of time bakithi,” wrote one app user.
