Simphiwe Ngema admits to paying a visit to Thabo Bester in jail in April 2018.
After a journalist disclosed that a prominent celebrity and entrepreneur made a visit to the convicted rapist and killer in jail, the singer initially buried the rumor.
Simz admits to paying Thabo a visit in a now-deleted post, and she explains why.
“connected and portrayed himself to be in the entertainment industry” and that he had introduced himself to her and others as TK Motsepe. “He seemed well connected and was able to organise meetings and big events which I and many other public figures were booked for. Till this day I was never paid for some of the events that I was booked for by the 21st Century,” reads the statement.
The star’s announcement drew even more criticism because it prompted questions about her late husband, Dumi’s death, and other issues.
She has, however, shielded herself from hostility and criticism by shutting off her social media comments.
