Somizi has been trough the most this year following Mohale's physical abue allegations. Mohale recently made headlines after retold the story of how Somizi allegedly abused him during a domestic violence incident. He even dropped receipts by sharing pictures of the alleged abuse he allegedly suffered from Somizi.
"The particular assault I am talking about was the one that took place in our home and for me it was seeing that person in a way that I had never seen him before. He was angry at the fact that I went to work in Durban, and I remember coming from Durban and finding him sitting on the couch waiting for me and he immediately said where are you coming from and I said what do you mean because you know where I am come from," he told Aldrin Sampear.
"I remember he had a bottle of champagne in his hand and I was trying to take off the clothes I was wearing and he started spilling champagne on me. With me trying to find out what was going on he started beating me up and I remember him saying he needs to mess up my face because this beautiful face is messing things up for him and I remember covering my face because the shoes he was wearing were going to damage my face," Mohale continued.
"He started hitting me in the ribs and legs and I couldn't walk. I crawled down the stairs at that point I believed my ribs were broken because I couldn't move this part of my body and in doing that I reached for my car keys and I ran out."
He further debunked claims that he wanted half of Somizi's estate. According to Mohale, he only wanted his clothes, car, and a share of their wedding payout.
"I was shocked yet again when I was told that he says I want 50% of his assets. The very first letter we sent to Somizi on 25th of June 2021 stated that I wanted my clothing, I wanted the car which he bashed, I wanted the money for the wedding, which belongs to the both of us and that was it,” he said on his special Mohale: On The Record.
According to Mohale, Somizi suggested the division of the joint estate.“ His response to the letter that we sent out to him, that he sent back to us on the 25th of July… he’s the one who suggested that we go for division of the joint estate,” he continued.
