Sizwe Dhlomo dismisses 'gay' and 'assault' report

Johannesburg - Radio and TV presenter, Sizwe Dhlomo, has hit back at newspaper reports claiming he is gay and regularly assaults his lover.

Sunday Sun claims a source detailed to them how Sizwe beats up his so-called lover, Siyanda Kunene. The paper claims friends are concerned by the 'violent nature' of their relationship.

But Sizwe has laughed off the report, saying he thought he was being pranked when they called him for a comment.

Sizwe responded to Twitter fans, saying he has 'never even heard of the guy' and his while he doesn't think there is any point in taking legal action, he is 'going to consult with my lawyer and see what she says.'

Here's his take on the issue:

The only thing bothering me is the assault allegation. That's reputational damage! I'm too grown to worry about people saying I'm gay.

1/2) It's funny because this week, I was speaking to a friend of mine about how your reputation should speak for you...

2/2) People must be able to say "Look, I may not like so & so but this doesn't sound like something he would do".
