Simphiwe Dana has landed in hot water once again. She had to defend herself from accusations were she was said to have used her connections to have an abuser released from prison.The musician has been very vocal about women abuse and femicide all over her social media and has talked about how she was also a victim.

“He held my throat in his hand. Spat in my face and told me he could kill me and get away with it. He did that,” she recalls. A woman outed Simphiwe for releasing a man by the name of Mohau from a Kenyan prison who she later found out he had abused her little sister’s friend.Simphiwe claims to have been asked by her sister to help Mohau out as his passport was confiscated.

“I jumped and thought how I could be of help. I helped out.
The very next morning I read Malatji’s tweets about his experience of the whole debacle that put Mohau in jail. I was shocked and saddened at how I helped someone who abused a woman get out of jail,” she tweeted.
