According to City Press, songstress Moneoa Moshesh was allegedly detained and held against her will for 2 hours by the SAPS. During the 2 hours, she was apparently asked to delete her Instagram videos.
Moneoa clarified that she was not arrested at the Sandton Police Station, but was rather asked to delete the videos where she details her alleged abuse. Earlier this week on Thursday, 25 August, almost a week after taking to her Instagram page and alleged that Phiwe Maphanga abused her and left her broke.
According to the publication, Phiwe obtained an interim protection order, which is being challenged by Moneoa's lawyers.
The publication claims that Phiwe said in his affidavit the allegations negatively affected him and his family. He also alleges that there were numerous threats against him, apparently made by Moneoa's supporters.
“Moneoa Moshesh is an ex-girlfriend whom I met in 2017. Our relationship was terminated in 2018. We were together affectionately for a period of a year. During the course of our relationship, I was the subject of physical abuse and emotional blackmail.”
He said he is left vulnerable because of he is a newly married man who has a newborn baby.
“As a newlywed and a man with a newborn baby, I feel extremely vulnerable, as I am uncertain of the extent to which the threats could be acted on. I have been giving her money throughout the course of our break-up, as she would claim that if I don’t give her money, she would ensure I am in harm’s way.”
“This has resulted in my life being in physical danger. I have received threats [on] digital platforms [from Moshesh-Sowazi’s supporters] claiming that they will find me and my family. I would therefore request that I be given a protection order on an urgent basis on the premise that I am getting death threats from social media owing to her recent posts.”
It is also said that Moneoa not only opened a case against her ex, but also against the police officers. She opened 2 cases against Phiwe which include 'theft and use of vehicle without owner’s permission.'
In her videos, Moneoa made some startling allegations against Phiwe which left fans heartbroken for her as she plans on picking up the pieces and returning to the spotlight.
“I’m gonna share something with all of you that has not only weighed stress on my heart and mind for over 5 years now but has also inconvenienced my life in ways I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy. I can’t stand that it’s come to this but unfortunately, I feel that I’m left with no other choice. I want to clarify that I don’t hate Phiwe Maphanga but I now realise that his refusal to cooperate in this matter has nothing to do with any difficulties he has with resolving it.”
According to TshisaLive, Moneoa is taking this fight to court because she wants her stuff back from Phiwe.
“I've been wanting to do this for quite a while, but I always felt nervous...I don't harbour any ill intentions against him but how else am I going to get my things back, what choice has he left me. He needs to be taught a lesson so that he stops defrauding people and playing with people's livelihoods. He has been doing this for too long enough, is enough,” she said as quoted by the publication.
“It's still new for now, I just got my case numbers and I have a very reliable sergeant that I'm working with. Sgt Norman Sithole from Norwood, he is the first police officer that has been so helpful and so invested in helping me in this situation. I don't know how many times I've gone to open a case and when they ran my fingerprints those cases didn't appear on the database.”
