The court slammed Nota for his 'reckless' tweets and for regarding the court proceedings as a 'laugh'. It ordered him to pay damages to Shimza.
In its judgment, delivered on August 12, the court slammed Nota for his “reckless” tweets and for regarding court proceedings as a “laugh”.“An allegation of corruption should not be made lightly. Such an allegation is most serious in relation to the standing of a person.”
“I consider that the defendant published the statements without regard to consequences. This was also illustrated by his evidence. He said whatever came into his head and contradicted himself within the same breath. His recklessness was ultimately shown by his evidence that having to answer in court was a waste of his time,” said acting judge Omphemetse Mooki., has landed in hot water previously thanks to his “logorrhoea”.
Earlier this year, Nota had to make an official public apology to Slikour for making “defamatory” remarks about him in a podcast. “I Nota, unequivocally apologise to Slikour for the false allegations and offensive insults made during my interview on @everythingsamusic’s Instagram account entitled #Nota attacks #Slikour. I acknowledge that the false accusations I made were not based on facts and were extremely hurtful. I apologise unreservedly for any harm caused to Slikour as a result of insulting utterances,” read Nota’s apology.
