South Africa’s former media personality, Zinhle Khumalo has reacted to the R300k Lawsuit slapped at her by reality TV star Yaya Mavundla by taking the case to court.
Khumalo and Mavundla have been a topic of discussion on the street of Twitter since the weekend following the bone of contention between them.

The whole saga started after a back-and-forth conversation started with entertainment commentator Phill Maphela about the origins of the social spot Kwa Mai-Mai.
Things went sour the moment Khumalo dragged Mavundla into the conversation, accusing her of attempted rape at the Collins Chabane music festival a few years ago.
Mavundla didn’t take the accusation lightly but involved with her lawyers who slapped Khumalo with an R300K defamation lawsuit.
When confronted about the situation, Yaya told the “Sunday World“ publication that she was hurt by the statement and that she spent the rest of the weekend explaining to friends and family that the allegations were not true.
Yaya also stated that the incident had cost her a lot, including losing a sponsorship, and plans to donate whatever amount the court decides Khumalo must pay in damages to an organization supporting the LGBTQIA community.

“My legal team has dealt with that. Equally since I’ve laid criminal charges against the person who defamed me about some non existent Bongi person, I shall tweet no more until the investigation is concluded and someone is punished. Hasta la vista baby ✌🏽.” she wrote.
