David Tlale’s s*xual abuse allegations
David Tlale has been trending for a few days now and not for good reasons. A few days ago, a man identified as Zack took to Instagram to expose David Tlale for allegedly sexually assaulting him about three years ago when he worked for him.
In a long post, Zach narrated how when he worked with Tlale at African Fashion International (AFI) three years ago, the fashion mogul “drugged and sexually abused him then exploited him for his skills during the pandemic.”
He was 21 years old when the whole ordeal happened and he left his job after three months and swore never to work in the fashion industry again despite his passion for it.
The allegations set Mzansi Twitter on fire and David Tlale trended in no time with tweeps weighing in on the saga.
After keeping quiet about the allegations, David Tlale finally responded to the s*xual abuse allegations which he termed as “categorically false and only made to soil his reputation.” He further explained that he was still consulting with his internal team on the next steps.
