Lerato Mvelase is serious about getting justice against those involved in ruining her planned family trip with her boys.

The actress has accused a travel agency called Black Trotters Africa of scamming her after she planned a trip that never happened. When she asked the company for her refund, she said the feedback she got was that the agency had been liquidated.

Mvelase calls out ticket issuer

The Marked actress came for everybody. She also dug up past employers of the company, one of them being a former ticket issuer to travellers.

"Story time. Why: because they messed with my kids!" she exclaimed. This is Tumelo Tshepang Matenche, born 1988/August/29 from Boksburg. @tumelo_matenche, contact me for your sake! He is part of the team, the syndicate, Black Trotters Africa, owned by Refiloe Miriam Tsakatsa and Africa Tsakatsa (their socials are all deleted), all for a lifestyle. He was providing fake tickets to travellers," Lerato alleged.

Tumelo has since released a statement where he defended himself, saying he, too, has issues with the company.

"I was an employee at Black Trotters, where I served as the Head of Sales. Like many others. I became aware of the situation at the same time as the rest of the public. Neither the other employees nor I were given prior knowledge or insight into the events that later unfolded. We were equally in the dark," he wrote.
