"A recent incident involving Bongani Fassie has been misreported, with claims suggesting he was irresponsibly using royalties in a club environment. In reality, Bongani was involved in an altercation while assisting a woman being assaulted by her partner in the early hours of October 27, 2024. Misleading reports like these foster misunderstanding, mistrust, and even social division, affecting both Bongani's reputation and the Fassie brand's business relationships."
"Given the significant strides Bongani has made to restore his public image, we emphasize the need for news organizations to adhere to rigorous standards of fact-checking and transparency. Reporting should be grounded in verified facts, as inaccurate narratives can have profound consequences for individuals and communities alike."

"Bongani, mind your own business, bro you don’t want to be a dead hero."

enhle_mfocwa argued:

"This guy has a history of abuse himself, so I don’t understand why he is now representing himself as a saviour or a hero. He deserved it, marn🚮 …this guy is an emotional, physical, financial abuser, you name them…He abused me emotionally, and I ended up in hospital."

"Sorry, Bongani. The world is cruel these days. Your children need you. You must sue those spreading lies. It's a defamation of character."
