The popular DJ was released on R4,000 bail after Thuli filed a withdrawal statement and agreed for the accused to be released on bail.The duo then released a joint statement which noted the two stars wanted “to return to their respective fields of work after the now concluded private resolution of this matter”.

“Being public figures, it is unavoidable that the public, media, and their respective commercial partners all have an interest in this matter. Accordingly, they have decided to release this joint statement as the official and exclusive statement in the matter.“The matter has received mixed public attention, causing a great deal of emotional stress for both parties involved. It is on this basis 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 Consequently, Phongolo has since withdrawn the charges laid against Sekowe.

“Both parties have noted with concern the disparaging, defamatory, and (in some instances) untrue remarks, statements, and reports emanating from the incident and view these in a serious light. The parties reserve their rights to individually pursue legal action against people making defamatory and/or false statements in relation to this matter.”
