“I, Sbusiso “DJ Sbu” Leope WeNkosi, hereby issue this statement in response to the false, misleading, and unsubstantiated allegations that have been circulated in the public domain by the suspended Head of Legal and Risk Services at the City of Ekurhuleni, Advocate Kemi Behari.
These allegations, which attempt to implicate myself and businessman Thembinkosi TK Nciza, are entirely false, defamatory, and without any factual basis,” he wrote.
Leope denied any involvement in wrongdoing, misconduct, or unethical activity of any kind.
“Throughout my career in broadcasting, entrepreneurship, and public service, I have conducted myself with integrity, transparency, and respect for the law. My work across media, business, and community development has always been guided by principles of accountability and positive social impact.
“I am deeply concerned that these allegations appear to be part of an attempt to divert attention from ongoing internal matters and personal accountability issues by creating false narratives involving respected public figures,” he wrote.
Leope said he never participated in any illegal activity, have not benefited from any improper conduct, have not influenced any legal or administrative processes unlawfully and have not colluded with any individual or institution inappropriately.
He said any suggestion to the contrary is a fabrication.
“I reserve all my legal rights and remedies in relation to these defamatory statements and will not hesitate to pursue appropriate action should these false claims continue to damage my reputation and personal brand. I remain confident that due process, truth, and transparency will ultimately prevail.
“I urge the public, media, and stakeholders to exercise caution, verify facts, and avoid amplifying unverified claims that serve only to mislead and harm innocent parties.
My focus remains on serving my audience, building ethical businesses, creating employment, and contributing meaningfully to the development of our society,” he wrote.
Leope said he will continue to cooperate fully with any lawful investigation and welcome any process that is grounded in fairness, evidence, and justice.
