Court Case Update

Thank you for always believing the best of us and your unwavering support through the most vicious attack on our family. Some of you do not even know us personally, yet you have shown us tremendous love and support during this hurtful time. For that, we thank you.

Below is the verdict against Jackie Phamotse, who made salacious, diabolical, outlandish and fictitious utterances about our family:

Final Protection Order:

The respondent is prohibited by this court from:

    a) Engaging in or attempting in engaging in harassment of the complainant
    b) Enlisting the help of another person to engage in harassment of the complainant
    c) Making any malicious allegations on any Social Media Platform with regards to the complainant.

The court further imposes that the respondent remove all malicious allegations against the complainant from any Media Platform. This Protection Order is valid for an indefinite period. Should the respondent violate the above, a warrant of arrest will be issued resulting in a sentence of 5 years in jail.

““For me, I feel that my family has been vindicated from a malicious, diabolical diatribe. I am very pleased about the outcome. Cyber-bullying has to stop. People cannot make up stories about people and think they can get away with it. I didn’t only do this for me and my family, but for every South African who works hard to build their name, their credibility and can only trade on their integrity.”

Thank you once again. Siyabulela! Re a le boga!! Siyabonga!!!

Earlier that day, I had posted:

“Good morning, good morning, good morning, we have the blessing of seeing a new day. A friend just sent me this scripture from Deuteronomy 31:8 and I thought I should share it with you. “The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged”

Hold this truth steadfastly in your heart today and have a faith-filled day. I plan to do just that!!!”

The Legacy that uMadiba has left for us has made humanity better. It espouses a leader whose courage and conviction for a cause is the best testament to what we can glean from it. He asked of all of us to just do better, be kinder and be more compassionate.

Our marriage and personal lives have been the subject of vicious social media attacks over the past week. We issue this statement in response to those false and defamatory allegations. The allegations allude to a sex tape which does not exist. The source of the allegations is an author whom we have never met, spoken to or had any dealings with. We can only deduce for reasons which remain unclear, that the motivation behind these unfounded and salacious rumours was nothing but pure malice, and perhaps an attempt by the author to create publicity and boost her book sales.

The harm caused on a personal, emotional and professional level has been immeasurable. Moreover, the malicious spreading of fictitious rumours has caused enormous emotional harm to our children – who we have always tried to keep out of the public spotlight.

It has been enormously challenging to remain silent over the past week. Our silence thus far has not been because there is any merit or truth in these allegations – but simply because we have been so deeply shocked and hurt by the salacious content and manner in which it has been recklessly shared and spread.

But today is when we break the silence. We feel it is our duty to take a stand – both against the individuals involved in spreading these baseless allegations and also, against all those keyboard warriors who so swiftly jump on the bandwagon to share harmful content about others – without considering the long-term harm this can cause. We have sought legal counsel and have laid criminal charges of crimen injuria and are applying for Protection Orders against those responsible. The defamatory content has also since been picked up by mainstream media, and we are considering other legal options available, including laying a complaint to the Independent Media Ombudsman.

It is our hope that in taking a public stand against this type of malicious and reckless behaviour, we will send a strong message to all those who regularly and carelessly share false and harmful information about others without fact-checking or considering the tremendous harm to be caused on a personal, professional and reputational level.  We would like to thank all of those who have stood by us throughout this very challenging period.
