Sjava has taken to social media to release a short video denying the allegations leveled against him by former girlfriend, Lady Zamar. In the lengthy footage, Sjava shed some details about the ongoing court case against him.

The Mzansi singer said that he has been silent because his legal team told him that he is not allowed to speak about it online.

He revealed details about his relationship with Lady Zamar. He shared that the pair dated from 2017. The singer said he told Lady Zamar that he had another woman in his life and she was initially fine with it.

However, according to Sjava, Lady Zamar eventually told him that he needs to choose who he wants to be with.

He then went on to refute the allegations of sexual abuse leveled against him. The media personality said the accusations left him confused because Lady Zamar had never let him know that he had hurt her.

"All my life I have been very active against abuse, because it's something I don't agree with. It hurts me that someone would take all that and make me the bad guy. It hurts. I don't wish it on anyone."

Sjava then decided to further apologise to Lady Zamar if he had done anything wrong to her. He siad he was sorry that he did not love her in the way she wanted.

"I know a lot of people will take my apology as me admitting my guilt but I am not a rapist"

The popular singer also apologised to the fans that he disappointed by being entangled in such drama. He said that he has lost a lot og gigs due to the accusation.
