South African hip-hop musician, Simiso Zwane, affectionately known as Okmalumkoolkat by his fans, has been reportedly sentenced to six months in jail in Australia.
Zwane reportedly pleaded guilty to sexual assault charges and was sentenced to six months in jail with five months suspended.
The management team of the rapper, Stamp Communications, said in a statement they have little information regarding his judgement.
“At this stage, we have limited information regarding the judgment on Simiso Zwane in Australia, but with no previous legal charges or history of violence whatsoever, and knowing Simiso as we and most of you all do, we can say that the news comes as a huge surprise and one which has truly rocked us all.
“Having said this, we are by no means disputing the woman’s claims which are taken incredibly serious and must abide by the court’s ruling. Our thoughts are with all those affected and who will continue to be affected by this terrible situation,” stated the rapper’s management.
My n**** made a mistake. He admitted to it. And apologised. As disappointed as we can be… I respect him for that. #Free100KMacasette
