What seemed to have stuck out the most during the altercation was when Unathi allegedly claimed that Sizwe had verbally abused her. It was later found out that Sizwe had in fact never verbally abused Unathi and that is when the Idol SA judge lost her job.
Here is the altercation. News is 6 mins long, I walked into studio while the news was still on and this is what went down. https://t.co/bRJSGTbgEi

After my innocence was proven, I then responded with the following: pic.twitter.com/SxJGlGqTa0

Okay, now that that’s out the way. This is what Unathi accused me of. I didn’t know the details of her accusatory mail until she accidentally copied me on her response, not realising that I would then obtain a copy of the entire chain. pic.twitter.com/TQo1IyGwML

Procedural yes , but you could have said sorry she wasn't fighting and you just didn't want to accept that you were late and it doesn't look like its a first incident.

Having listened to that clip, must say you are also wrong. Sounds like you had it in for her more like you fed-up with her. When you are late you apologize you don't fight. Don't play innocent. She is wrong for saying the f word but correct to talk to you.

this is nicely worded but he is not addressing the problem which is being late and being always late as the clip is saying. lies may have been said but fact is he is late and maybe always late

1. Divorce joke was 3 months before the altercation.

2. She lied about Siz verbally abusing her when she’s the one who actually said the F-word amid the altercation.
3. She has no right to reprimand Siz about late-coming since she ain his manager.
The main issue here is that she was fired for false accusations, but you don't understand because you're in your feelings. You need to be smart and sober in to understand 😂😂😂

Tweeps are therefore conflicted as to why Unathi had to make that an issue when it clearly had no direct relation to the current situation.
The main issue is that she lied about being abused Was Sizwe late? Yes. So why didn’t she report him for late coming? Why lie?

Sizwe doesn’t report to her, she had no right addressing the late coming and in front of their colleagues (her tone was condescending). If it bothered her, she could’ve taken it up with his senior. There was no verbal abuse as she alleged, in fact the ‘F’ word was said by her🤷🏾♀️ https://t.co/XUNCsLDke2
