South African Kwaito star Arthur Mafokate is said to have taken his former partner Busisiwe "Cici" Thwala to court after she allegedly made defamatory statements against him.
The self-proclaimed King of Kwaito and his ex are reportedly embroiled in another legal battle after she allegedly shared social media posts in September 2025, where she published photos of her X-ray showing her past pelvic surgery.
According to a post by MDN News, the scans were related to Cici's 2017 assault case against Mafokate, to which she allegedly accused her ex-boyfriend of assaulting and "almost murdering her."
The news platform revealed on Tuesday, 13 January 2026, that Cici's post allegedly caused Mafokate significant emotional distress and led to lost business opportunities.

The businessman and retired musician, who was previously linked to a massive Lotto corruption scandal, is allegedly suing Cici for R1.5 million.
Nearly a decade after the 2017 incident, the former couple is set to meet eye-to-eye at the Johannesburg High Court over the assault case. Cici had accused Mafokate of dragging her with his car, while the Kwaito star claimed that she attacked him and was later acquitted of the charges.
The discussion in the comment section hit a fever pitch as online users nitpicked the couple's decades-long legal drama.
