Sbu disgusted over 'love' reports

Johannesburg- DJ Sbu has come out strongly against recent media reports that accuse him of having a romantic relationship with a student. 

Sunday Sun reported that Sbu had allegedly found love with  UJ student, Boitumelo Mahlase. The two of them were apparently spotted by various sources spending time together. 

The report further claimed that Sbu and Boitumelo allegedly flew to Durban together in a private jet and were spotted sightseeing in Midmar. 

Shortly after the report surfaced, Sbu took to Instagram to set the record straight. 

"I am very disappointed at your fabricated article about me and a sister that I have never met. I don't know this young lady, I have never met or spoken to her in my life. I do not own a private jet nor can I afford one," Sbu wrote. 

The former radio personality also labelled the report as "poor journalism that destroys lives." 

"I am utterly disgusted and appalled," Sbu added. 

Don't believe everything you read in the news ??

A eyewitness who accompanied Sbu to the airport to fly to Durban also gave a detailed account of what he witnessed.

Known as Lindo, the apparent eyewitness also rubbished the reports explaining that he drove Sbu to the airport, and that there was no private jet or young lady with Sbu at the time.

Here's Lindo's full post...

#Repost @lindo_m with @repostapp ··· If u still a fan of these tabloid Newspapers, let me tell u just how much crap they feed our people! - My company flew Sbu in, and I certainly don't afford a private jet! - I personally drove him to the school at KwaMashu that the article makes mention of. There was no girl in the car I was driving! - I personally drove him to the event we had at Midmar View. In the car there was Nompendulo, Sbu and myself. - I personally drove him back to his hotel in Dbn. Dropped him at 04h00am. - I personally picked him up at 08h00pm and dropped him off at the airport as he was rushing to another speaking engagement in GP. He missed his flight, and when he got there he had to organise getting into another one. - Where was this private jet? - And more importantly, if @sbuleope was in my sight all the time, how did they get to sneak a girl past me? The media will have us hating each other. Yesterday it was Zola, today it's Sbu...tomorrow it's me or you! This needs to be stopped!
