TimeLive's report says that Mapaseka claims to have sent Thandi a text message expressing her upset over the incident, but Thandi allegedly disregarded her plea to stop. The Radio 2000 host allegedly nudged Thandi's knee with her foot under the table as a form of protest.

A report in The South African states that Thandi reported the incident as an assault to the human resources office at WBS, where Mapaseka was employed. Thandi also provided pictures of alleged bruises on her leg, claiming they were taken an hour after the incident.

Thandi did not attend subsequent virtual and in-person meetings to address the issue, leading to Mapaseka's inability to plead her case and call witnesses in a hearing.

As a result, Mapaseka's participation at the conference was terminated immediately, and later, Wits Business School informed her that her contract would not be renewed.
