South African music executive Nota Baloyi has been granted bail, and his father, DN Baloyi, has stepped into the spotlight to voice his thoughts on the situation. As the drama unfolds, DN's words carry a weight of both relief and conviction about his son’s innocence.

DN Baloyi Defends His Son Amid the Storm

The entertainment world has been abuzz since former Rhythm City actress Itumeleng Bokaba publicly accused Nota Baloyi of raping her a year ago. The allegations have sent shockwaves through the industry, sparking heated debates and dividing public opinion.

According to TshisaLIVE, Nota was released on R5,000 bail at the Randburg Magistrate's Court in Johannesburg on Monday, October 7, 2024, after surrendering himself to the police. In a candid conversation with the publication, DN Baloyi broke his silence and staunchly defended his son. He emphasized that Nhlamulo is innocent and accused the accuser of lying, expressing relief that his son was granted bail.

DN Baloyi passionately stated:

“He deserved bail. The accuser is a liar and not telling the truth. I’m glad they will investigate the WhatsApp text messages, and eventually, the truth will come out. This is a tough situation, but I trust the legal system will do its job.”

Throughout this ordeal, Nota’s parents have stood firmly by his side, offering unwavering support. DN reiterated his belief that justice will prevail as the matter continues to unfold. He expressed gratitude for the opportunity to uncover the truth and ensure his son’s name is cleared.

In an exclusive interview with Briefly News, Nota Baloyi opened up about the allegations and the challenges he’s facing. He explained:

“Extortion is a serious offense, and rather than give in to my blackmailer’s demands, I chose to turn myself in to the police. I wanted to demonstrate my confidence in proving my innocence. The magistrate recognized that releasing me on bail is in the best interest of justice, provided I don’t contact my accuser, whom I last reached out to on September 24, 2024, inviting her to an event.”

“My legal team is actively pursuing the extortion case once this current matter concludes. I’m heartened by the support from many parents across South Africa, and it’s clear that my critics are primarily EFF supporters or bots instructed to harass me. After the case wraps up, I will take legal action against them and file a case of crimen injuria against KayaFM presenter Sol Phenduka.”

Itumeleng Bokaba Allegedly Steps Down From Her Job

In related news, Briefly News reported that Nota Baloyi’s accuser, Itumeleng Bokaba, reportedly resigned from her job. This move comes after Nota served her with a protection order following his accusation of assault. The news sparked a mix of emotions among netizens, with many expressing sympathy for her situation.

One user, Hones1986, commented:

“The wrong connections can turn your world upside down. I pray we are all given wisdom and discernment in life’s choices.”

As the case progresses, all eyes remain on the unfolding events, hoping for clarity and resolution. The entertainment industry and the public alike await the outcome, which could have lasting implications for everyone involved.
