Moshe Ndiki Says Musician, Phelo has “an aggressive nature once he is under the influence of alcohol” in a press statement that reacted to a Sunday article highlighting physical conflict between the couple. Read Moshe’s post below
Following an article published On Sunday, 5 July 2020, I’d like to make a statement. The article made a number of allegations regarding alleged incidents between Phelo, and I, as well as the existence of protection order applications. These are matters of a private nature and I have been advised that because there are pending court proceedings, I should not comment.
The most I am prepared to state at present is that I have in no way abused Phelo and am prepared to follow the legal processes to prove this fact.
Anyone who has dealt with Domestic violence knows how difficult it is to speak about their experiences and the shame attached to being a victim. I have been faced with numerous questions including those asking :”Why have you taken this long to say something? You’re so loud everywhere else about everything, why not this? You look and sound emotionally strong, so how did this happen to you?”
I’m comforted in the knowledge that our friends and family know of his aggressive nature once he is under the influence of alcohol and has had a few drinks. I also have knowledge of his behaviour from my own lived experiences.
The angle taken in the article and the allegations made in there are an attempt to humiliate me and are an extension of the abuse I’ve endured, even emotionally so.
I’m deeply saddened there has been a violation of our private mediation on this matter, It is for these reasons that I chose not to expose our private differences.
For now, I kindly ask that I be afforded time and space to deal with these trying times with those closest to me, whilst processing what’s going on. I would like to assure you that this is not my nature and I would rather like to speak about this once I am ready, emotionally and otherwise, if at all I choose to speak on it.
