'I trust that this judgment will be a lesson to individuals like Mr Gopane that there are consequences for abusing public platforms to defame and humiliate others,' Bonang said.
Bonang emphasised that she proceeded with the legal options she had after Rea ignored two written requests to desist.
“After hearing argument relating to the unlawful conduct of Mr Gopane the court upheld my claim for damages, and in a precedent-setting judgment, ordered that Mr Gopane pay damages in the amount of R300,000 plus the legal costs of the action. “It is not my intention to benefit financially from the ruling rather I wish to uplift those less fortunate than me and I will be donating the damages received to my philanthropic endeavour, the Bonang Matheba Foundation, which I established to advance the tertiary education of young women.”
Bonang said she hoped the judgment would be a lesson to individuals like Gopane “that there are consequences for abusing public platforms to defame and humiliate others”.
