TV presenter – Katlego Maboe has received a suspension from the SABC 3 Expresso breakfast show until an investigation is carried out into allegations of gender-based violence and also a confirmed cheating scandal.

A video taken by Maboe’s partner displays him accepting his fault of cheating on her only once with a woman who works at the insurance company that he is an ambassador for.

Maboe’s partner also mentioned that he gave her a sexually-transmitted disease which could have an effect on her ability to produce more babies in the future.

In a different social media post by Maboe’s brother-in-law, it is alleged that he laid hands on his partner.

Truth: I was unfaithful to my partner during a very important time of our lives – an act I regret to this day. We are currently undergoing an unfortunate and painful separation which is being resolved through legal proceedings. As you can imagine, separations are quite a difficult thing to deal with, especially with a child involved. In light of the comments made against me, I would like to state that I have never abused my partner. I have always and will always stand up against the abuse of women and children – in fact, the abuse of anyone for that matter. I had chosen to deal with this matter privately to protect and safeguard our child. At the end of the day, our child is all that matters to me. However, I will leave this to the legal system and let the truth have its day.

According to reports on Friday, Maboe has been removed from the show by Expresso, until an internal investigation is carried out.

“We condemn any acts of violence and mistreatment, especially against women and children, and therefore take such allegations very seriously. Until such time as the matter has been fully investigated, and pending the outcome, Katlego Maboe will not be appearing on The Expresso Morning Show,” the show’s production company told Channel24.
