Having made just three court appearances and spending three nights in police custody, Matila was let out on R2 000 bail. The matter has been postponed to October as police continue with investigations.

Stopnonsons erupts in violent rage

Matila is said to have assaulted Ngemane and her friend Tsholofelo Kgosimotho, along with Kgosimotho's boyfriend, Phindo Ngxanga of The Soil.

Furthermore, the comedian and presenter is alleged to have pointed a gun at the group as well as some security guards who were called to intervene.

The ladies reportedly issued restraining orders against Matila, whose friends maintain that he owned up to assaulting both Kgosimotho and Ngxanga, however, denied attacking his ex.

The case is reminiscent of Uyajola 9/9's Jub Jub, whose case was also postponed following multiple counts of assault.
