As soon as the video of Katlego Maboe admitting to cheating on his now-former partner, Monique Muller, spread on social media, you knew things would get messy.

In case you’re catching up, Maboe admitted to cheating on Muller, with whom he has a child that was born in 2018.

Muller also accused Maboe of giving her an STD, which has affected her ability to have children going forward.

Whilst the subsequent drama has played out in the public eye, Maboe has remained silent, saying he “will leave this to the legal system and let the truth have its day”.

Well, one of those days was supposed to be yesterday, although that was quickly derailed.

Here’s the Citizen:

Despite photos of Maboe arriving at the regional court, NPA spokesperson Eric Ntabazalila said his court appearance did not happen because the prosecutor was unaware of the case, only finding about it today in media reports.

Responding to The Citizen he said: “The expected court appearance of Katlego Maboe did not take place this morning. When the prosecutor saw an article about allegations made, she contacted the police and asked about the court appearance.  She was given today’s date for the court appearance.

“This morning the docket was not brought to court as was expected. She has since asked for the docket to peruse it. No date has been set yet for the appearance.”

That seems like a bit of an oversight on somebody’s part.

Maboe was due in court for allegedly breaching a protection order Muller had taken out against him.

At this stage, no date has been set for Maboe’s next appearance.

Another cheating allegation has also been thrown into the mix over the past few days, according to IOL, with reports questioning Maboe’s conduct in Kiev, Ukraine, during a trip when he was a Lay’s Chips ambassador:

He then allegedly admitted to Muller that he kissed the winner of the Lay’s competition while they were on the dance floor.

The insider claims that Maboe ended going back to the hotel room where he slept with the woman in question.

This is separate to the admission of cheating we saw in the now-viral video from last month.

Ultimately, whilst his infidelities (alleged and admitted) are worth closer scrutiny, especially from the brands that have aligned with Maboe, it’s the allegations of abuse and domestic violence from Muller that are the most jarring.

Maboe has denied these claims, telling IOL last month that “their relationship had gone downhill and that Muller was physically abusive towards him”.

He remains off the air at Expresso Morning Show, and OUTsurance says it has pulled all advertising featuring him.
