Motsepe’s lawyers, Bowmans Attorneys, issued a statement in boldly denying that he and Danke were in a relationship or expecting any children together.
“On behalf of Dr Patrice Motsepe, we put on record that the allegations in the media that Dr Patrice Mosepe has children or a relationship with Ms Katlego Danke are absolutely false and are fake news.”
The statement added that those spreading the rumours could face legal action.
“These allegations are defamatory and expose the disseminators of these false and untrue allegations to legal liability,” they added.
“We have taken note of the article in ‘Die Son’ in which Ms Katlego Danke is reported to have stated and clarified that Dr Patrice Mosepe is not the father of her child.”
Earlier in the week, rumours started spreading on social media that the 61-year-old had impregnated Danke for the second time.
Motsepe, who is married to physician and entrepreneur Dr Precious Moloi, escaped much of the criticism online while Danke bore the brunt of the abuse online.
On other news, Katlego Danke has also taken to Metro FM and addressed these rumours today morning, March 10.
