"We hereby place on record that our client does not know about the false, malicious and defamatory allegations contained in your X posts and denies the same. If you possess any knowledge regarding what "happened" to Ms Shongwe regarding her passing, it would be wise for you to approach law enforcement to disclose the same. It is also concerning that you possess knowledge regarding what "happened" to Ms Shongwe, however, you choose to conceal the same," they wrote.
With that said, Sixo demanded an apology to be published on X by 24 April, encouraging her to adhere to the speculations.
"Our client is of the reasonable belief that your conduct is erratic, deliberate and reckless. In disclosing our client's confidential health issues, you have violated her fundamental right to privacy. Your claim that you had sexual relations with our client and use of expletives are unwanted, unwarranted verbalised sexual conduct which was intended to humiliate and intimidate our claim. For the avoidance of doubt, our client denies ever conducting any romantic and/or sexual relationship with you."
Responding to the letters, Keswa brought a strongly-worded response
"I’m not apologising! Let’s meet in court," she said adding some profanity.
