ICYMI: DJ duo Thato 'DJ Fresh' Sikwane and Themba 'DJ Euphonik' Nkosi issued a joint statement on Saturday, confirming that they will be off air as investigations into the rape allegations levelled against them continue.

The allegations against the duo came to light earlier this week after a woman took to Twitter to detail the alleged incident, sparking a widespread debate among South Africans on social media.

She said the alleged rape occurred in 2011 at a chillas she attended with a friend, who was apparently invited by one of the DJs. At the time, she was a second-year student at the University of Pretoria, where she was studying towards a bachelor's degree in commerce. When approached for comment by TshisaLIVE earlier this week, DJ Fresh issued a statement against the allegations, labelling them as “hurtful and false”.

Meanwhile, Geraint Crwys-Williams, acting CEO of Primedia Broadcasting, where both DJs are employed, also issued a statement saying that the decision for the DJs to mute their mics for a while was mutual.

10years to open up a rape case, against DJFresh & Euphonik? Thats odd 'Victim' also took to Social media - gave her 'version', in a sort of bid to garner sympathy. If Sikwane & Nkosi found guilty, then t Law must take its course.. If cleared then 2 men's lives r destroyed.
