''I accept the suspension and I am stepping aside as this will allow me to focus full-time on fighting these unfortunate accusations.'
BMF acting managing director Philippe Bakahoukoutela announced Nomala’s suspension on Friday.
''The Black Management Forum stands against the abuse of women and is against any form of gender-based violence. The BMF board of directors takes this opportunity to re-affirm its stance against any form of gender [violence],’’ said Bakahoukoutela.The allegations against Nomlala stem from a former intern of BMF's investment arm who alleged she was “raped and sexually assaulted” by Nomlala at his Bryanston home in Johannesburg in May last year.
Sowetan has established that the complainant and Nomlala have had a personal friendship for months and continued to exchange friendly banter after the alleged incident until earlier last month . Nomlala has denied the allegations, saying they are an “attempt to weaponise the seriousness of sexual harassment and sexual assault’’.
