“Shandesh has responded.”
In the statement, Shandesh confirmed rumours that she had broken up with Mimi Mogale a few months ago.
“Our client confirms that Ms Mogale is aware that they had parted ways for their own personal reasons, and as such, it remains defamatory for those who may be involved with Ms Mogale to continue dragging her name in the murky waters for their own relevance or popularity,” part of the statement reads.
The 2025 Sepedi Music Awards nominee also shared that she was taking legal action against theselfmadebarb.
“As such, we wish to point out that our client will be pursuing legal action against those who have defamed and undermined her name, reputation and dignity despite her non-involvement in the matter,” the statement further reads.
