Basetsana and Romeo Kumalo have finally spoken out after winning the case against controversial author and activist Jackie Phamotse.
A court case can take a toll on the parties involved. We understand how it might feel for some when they finally get to breathe a sigh of relief in the end. That’s the case for Mzansi’s power couple Basetsana and Romeo Kumalo as their court case with Jackie Phamotse came to an end.
Briefly reports, “On September 21, 2023, the court found Phamotse guilty on multiple counts, including Crimen injuria, Criminal Defamation, and Contempt of Court, following the damning claims she made about the Kumalos a few years ago.”
The couple took to social media and shared a statement concerning the matter. It read, “We are relieved that the saga has now been dispensed with and that our families can start a moment of reflection, healing, and recovery.”
“This ordeal has been a severe test on the bonds of family and friends. Our children have been devastatingly impacted by these damning allegations.”
“We watched with pain their psychological beings, social lives and self-esteem taking unimaginable knocks. As businesspeople, our ability to pursue sustainable livelihoods were hamstrung, with some business prospects being brought to a halt.”
