The statement was released by the pair on Thursday morning. It contains statements obtained during the investigation, which they have been granted access to.
” ‘Michelle’ the roommate whom Siphelele Madikizela claims with her during the alleged incident, has stated under oath that:
“…Siphelele mentioned that I was with her at Guest House A and B. I was never there. I don’t have any knowledge of this incident.”

The Madikizela family released a statement on her behalf on Wednesday, denying claims that she lied. They said no family member had contacted Fresh, as he claimed on Twitter.
“The Madikizela family wants to make it absolutely clear that at no point did any family member call DJ Fresh to state such. The Madikizela family is distressed at these false claims and rejects these with contempt.
“This is a clear example of slander and defamation of character to damage our daughter’s reputation, character and integrity.”

The family said it would “not sit back and allow the launch of a smear campaign and the public character assassination” of their daughter in an attempt to “hide from the glaring ugly truth”.
In January, Madikizela accused Fresh and Euphonik of allegedly drugging and raping her in 2011.
Euphonik lashed out at people who said him and Fresh were handling the situation “badly”.
“You’re not going to tell me how to react. It was funny while our names were being dragged by this lying extortionist. Keep the same energy going. Have a great day.”
Shout out to the toxic feminist brigade who are conscious liars and delusionists that don’t know the difference between fact or fiction. You can’t rape someone you’ve never met and don’t know. No matter how much you want to believe it it won’t make it true.✌????
