Why DJ Zinhle is unlikely to apologise to Bonang

Since Bonang Matheba cheekily instructed her lawyers to serve DJ Zinhle with a lawsuit on the grounds of defamation - we take a look at why its highly unlikely Zinhle will honour that order.

When asked if Jiyane will release a statement of apology regarding an order by Matheba's lawyers to apologise by close of business on Monday - DJ Zinhle's spokesperson Nomndeni Mdakhi said nothing of the sort will be released.

"We are not going to be releasing anything," said Mdakhi over the phone. When requested to indicate whether that meant DJ Zinhle will not apologise, Mdakhi asked to be sent questions over email.

In her email response, Mdakhi changed her tune. "We have no comment at this point," she replied to a question "Does this mean there would be no apology as you have indicated over the phone?"

Matheba's lawyers are attempting to gag Jiyane for speaking up about having a saucy five-month romance with rapper AKA.

Jiyane released a statement last week, fingering Matheba as the third party in her relationship with AKA. The two have a two-month old daughter and had been dating for over three years until Matheba came along.

'Brand Bonang' has taken a sore beating when revelations of her dalliance with AKA surfaced. The 28-year old is the face of Revlon and a Woolworths lingerie range. She is also the presenter on Top Billing as well as on Metro FM.

Jiyane has kept her cool so far, only alluding to her state of mind by posting happy snaps with her close friends and pics with her daughter.

She amusingly tweeted out her personal tracklist while Matheba had her Metro FM show. All the tracks on Jiyane's private playlist included a play on the words 'I'm Sorry.'

On her Instagram page which has been flooded with comments from her fans, Jiyane has taken the time to respond to a few who have accused her of singling Matheba out.

On a post titled 'You can't build your happiness on someone else's pain, Karma will get you' written by the grandmother of her daughter, Lynn Forbes - fans asked why Jiyane was not protecting Matheba from online vitriol if the post was not about her.

"...I don't work for Bonang, it's not my job to defend  her. I also don't have the time," said Jiyane.

Since rumours of Matheba and AKA's affair broke nearly a month ago, Matheba was spotted with AKA on a date in Cape Town and seemed unapologetic about the "home wrecker" tag around her neck.

Instead, Matheba has been less than remorseful, denying the affair despite AKA confirming it to Jiyane and opting to launch a defamation of character law suit against Jiyane.

This could be more than enough reason for Jiyane to ignore Matheba's lawyers and face her in a legal lawsuit.
