The year has barely even started but Lerato Kganyago has already been trending for all the wrong reasons. The businesswoman and DJ took to Instagram to let people know that she is done keeping quiet when false rumours are being spread about her private life and career.
Mother, as she refers herself to, was left fuming during her recent Instagram after reading about the many false rumours about her. She said she will defend herself because she does not have a large fan base to defend her.
“I will fight and defend myself. People want you to be silent so they can run with the narrative they've created. Not on my watch. I don't have a trail of fans that sit here to defend me, I will do it when I need to, like you would.”
Lerato feels as though she is the sacrificial lamb in the industry. “Don't think I will not address false accusations made about me. I'm the sacrificial lamb in this industry. I've been quiet. This year is the year of responding.”
Just a few days ago we reported on Rumours That Lerato failed to pay her employees at the 12 on Hillel Villa and Spa Hotel in North cliff. There were also unpaid municipal bills floating around with Tweeps claiming they belong to Lerato.
She also clarified that she no longer is involved with the hotel as she has lost interest in the hospitality industry and has taken interest in the alcohol industry.
“I removed myself from the hotel a long time ago because I have an alcohol brand that's coming up ... I realised the hospitality industry is not something I'm passionate about. I want to focus on my business. The people who work for me are fully paid. People who work for me are living their best lives in Cape Town. Who are these people you are talking about? The ones on Kganyago productions and Flutter by LKG are fully paid,” she said.
Lerato also had to rubbish Rumours that she and her husband got divorced. This rumour has been making rounds for a long time.
"Nah! You guys are disrespectful, make your point, but don’t disrespect me. I’m somebody’s Wife. Nobody speaks about Mmage like that. You guys must know your boundaries."
