“Despite the opportunist obsession of haters like JJ Tabane, our queens continue to thrive. What was supposed to shame them at school propelled them. Despite years of online bullying sponsored by a thief called JJ Tabane, our Shangaan queens refused to be distracted. They carried their Shilumana throne with pride and dignity,” Mkhari wrote.
He also tore into Tabane over his views when Mkhari was arrested for allegedly assaulting his wife in 2018. Mkhari opened a counter case of assault against his wife claiming that she had assaulted him first. The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) dropped the matter after Mkhari’s wife withdrew the charges.
He slammed JJ Tabane for taking Mkhari’s wife’s side in the matter.
“Our family knows exactly what happened in July 2018. If anybody cares, they must go to Randburg Police Station and get the statements from Mrs Mkhari and I. JJ and his fan club of women (for personal reasons) decided to jump on the bandwagon of unearned gender activism. Shame on them. We work, and they get angry. We keep quiet. They get excited. We respond gently… and wait for them to come out of their house of shame,” he wrote.
Given Mkhari declared that he’s not done dealing with JJ Tabane and wants to teach him basic human decency.
When contacted by Sunday World, JJ Tabane said he decided not to respond to Given Mkhari because their matter is before the courts.
“I chose not comment because I’m busy with courts to deal with this matter,” he said.
