Why is Lerato Kganyago's husband suing a YouTuber?
YouTuber and podcaster Leon Mithi, popularly known as Mighti Jamie, weighed in on the matter through a video on his YouTube channel, Mighti Jamie TV. In the episode, he reviewed the witness’s testimony and discussed allegations suggesting that Lerato Kganyago and Thami Ndlala owned the Luxe Hotel 12 On Hillel Villa and Spa.
The video did not sit well with Ndlala, and he contacted Mighti Jamie, requesting that the episode be taken down, along with any social media posts mentioning him.
This was after the 12 On Hillel Villa and Spa released a statement clarifying Lerato Kganyago's official relationship with the establishment.
