In response to the allegations, the South African businessman, through his lawyers gave Luke a stern warning to stop spreading lies as it is causing him serious harm.
“Our clients have advised us of continuous assassination of their characters and brand perpetuated by your posts on various social media accounts of unfounded, baseless, and defamatory allegations against them. Such conduct from you is causing serious and severe harm to our clients’ esteemed brand and reputation.”
The letter also addressed the radio interview she had on Ukhozi FM, where she spoke about the allegations.
“It is our further instructions that you were on Ukhozi FM Radio station and again made serious, baseless, and unfounded defamatory statements against our clients. It became apparent from the Ukhozi FM Radio station interview that your allegations were devoid of substance and logic, but full of malice and desire to blackmail our clients into paying you money for undetermined reasons under the guise of our client owing you some money for performing musical exercises.”
DJ Tira requests an apology from the singer in seven days, else she faces the law.
“It is therefore our instruction to demand as we hereby do, that you desist from this unlawful conduct of publishing and peddling these malicious and unfounded allegations against our client. We further demand that you publish a retraction of such malicious and defamatory statements against our clients, through the same social media you had used to publish them. You must further conduct a radio interview through the same radio station retract the interview you conducted and offer an unconditional apology.”
“Our instructions are that retractions should be done within seven days from the date herein and the failure of which will leave our clients without an option but to seek a legal redress against your unlawful conduct, to protect our clients’ brand,” reads the statement.
