In a long written confession, Katlego decided to set the record straight with everyone on his Instagram page and admit to cheating but vehemently deny any abuse allegations.
"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."
