DJ Tira and Gugu Khathi Address Infidelity Rumors: A Detailed Look

DJ Tira has firmly denied allegations of marital infidelity following recent claims about his wife, Gugu Khathi. The controversy began when a blogger alleged that Gugu was involved with Tebogo Lerole, a former member of the music group Kwela Tebza.

The Allegations


 

The rumors emerged after Slindile Khumalo, an activist known for her work against gender-based violence, asserted that she witnessed Gugu visiting Tebogo during an event in the Eastern Cape. Slindile hinted at having evidence to support her claims and suggested she might present this information in court. Her statements have stirred significant public interest and speculation.

DJ Tira’s Response

In response to these allegations, DJ Tira expressed his confidence in his wife and dismissed the claims as unfounded. Speaking to TshisaLIVE, he labeled the accusations as “nonsense” and reaffirmed his trust in Gugu, stating, “I trust my woman, I don’t pay attention to nonsense.” DJ Tira’s reaction underscores his commitment to his marriage and his belief in the integrity of his relationship with Gugu.

#### Tebogo Lerole’s Denial

Tebogo Lerole, the man allegedly involved with Gugu, has also rejected the claims of an affair. He characterized the allegations as false and suggested that they stemmed from personal conflicts with Slindile Khumalo. Tebogo explained that Slindile had been dismissed due to behavioral issues and accused her of using these rumors as retaliation. He asserted, “I think Gugu knows the truth, her team knows the truth, and I think even the husband knows the truth. I have known Gugu since I was 15 years old.”

#### Slindile Khumalo’s Position

Contrary to Tebogo’s statements, Slindile Khumalo maintains that she was not employed by Tebogo and denies any knowledge of a dismissal. Her insistence on the validity of her claims continues to fuel the controversy.

#### Gugu Khathi’s Silence

As of now, Gugu Khathi has not publicly addressed the allegations. This follows a previous incident last August when Gugu and DJ Tira refuted divorce rumors that arose due to her late arrival at the South African Music Awards (Samas). At that time, they reaffirmed their commitment to each other, emphasizing their enduring relationship of 18 years and nearly a decade of marriage.

The ongoing situation highlights the challenges of navigating public scrutiny and personal relationships in the spotlight. As the story develops, the involved parties have maintained their positions, leaving the public to await further updates.
