Thami “Dish” Kotlolo has broken his silence over claims he condoned abuse in a relationship close to him.
This after Mohale Motaung claimed Somizi Mhlongo's former friend instructed him to return to his marital home after he allegedly suffered abuse at the hands of his estranged husband. Mohale made the claim on the Showmax Original Mohale: On the Record.
Thami took to his social media timeline on Friday to express his dismay about not being allowed the right of reply to protect his brand against the defamatory claims, and to share his side of the story.
“While I would have facilitated a meeting between the two parties at my house following an altercation, it would have been purely for the purposes of having both parties share their side of the story from their perspective. At no point was a suggestion made by myself that Mr Moatung returns to a home or relationship where there was ongoing abuse, and he knows this. That would have been a decision he took outside my influence,” he wrote.
“As a survivor and advocate, I cannot condone abuse and violence in any situation.”
