Maphanga is currently held at the Soshanguve Police Station and will remain there until he applies for bail.

Is this a case of misidentification?

The news publication reports that Xolani Maphanga believes that this is a case of mistaken identity.

The statement MojaLove shared reads: "Moja LOVE would like to put it on record that the presenter has admitted that it was a case of mistaken identity and maintains he did not assault anyone during filming."

Xolani and his security personnel handed themselves over to the police on Tuesday, 10 April.

MojaLove continued by stating that politicians are interfering with the work of the police. This comes after they claimed that the police are getting orders from an alleged top politician. This does not shake the channel and Xolani, and they pledged to continue fighting crime and drugs in communities.
