Bongani Fassie's court woes

Bongani has been going through the most lately. According to IOL, Fassie lost more than R25 million from his late mother, Brenda's estate.

Before that, music manager Lance Stehr had taken him to court over defamation. Apparently, Bongani accused Lance of introducing Brenda to drugs.

With insufficient evidence to back his claims, the court ruled in favour of Lance and instructed Bongani to pay R6 million.

"The false and defamatory statements made and broadcast by the defendant and his confidante Mercy Pakela have had the effect of lowering the reputation of the plaintiff (Lance) in the eyes of his community in that the plaintiff is perceived by those to whom publication occurred as an unprofessional manager who exploits his clients and deals drugs to them."
