Thabang Thanyane who is professionally known as Jobe London has expressed disappointment in false rumors about him on social media.
The musician’s legal team issues out a statement, stating that anybody that spreads defamatory comments about him, will hence face the law.
Aside past rumors about the Amapiano star’s illness, it was also rumoured on Thursday that he is dead, which he later shut down via Twitter.
He urged people to stop it.
Afterwards, the statement was shared on his social media page.
“After a thorough consultation with our client Thabang Thanyane, known professionally as Jobe London, it is apparent that conscious and legal issues were beached during the spreading of rumours in relation to a false death reported through various social media accounts.”
“It is further clear through the instruction of our client that previously, claims have been introduced to the effect of false rumours declaring an unknown illness.”
“It is a case of concern wherein such have cause prejudice and harm to the character, personality and psychological well-being of Mr Thanyane.”
“Although it is commonly known that our constitution provides for numerous freedom of speech or expression it should be duly known that despite the freedoms certain limitations are curtailed, it is therefore common understanding that such freedoms should be limited to the extent no application may result in the damage or harm of another’s personality or character.”
“Henceforth, clarity and discretion shall be applied before any false commentary is expressed, it is, therefore, our client’s intention to ensure legal action in future should any individual or entity lodge defamatory comments.”
“As under the auspices of our law, defamatory may result in either criminal or civil action. Azania Legal Advisory and Consultancy will be in continuous consultation and communication with Mr Thabang Thanyane, professionally known as Jobe London to ensure continuous legal protection with the assistance and instruction to Ditabe and Wagner Attorneys partnering with Azania Legal Advisory and consultancy.”
