The Johannesburg high court has ordered Tshepiso Rose Buthelezi, also known by her stage name Musical Rose, to remove Facebook posts it found to be defamatory towards JoziFM radio presenter and DJ Tshepo Junior Makgopa and to publish an unconditional apology.
The order follows social media posts in which Buthelezi alleged that Makgopa had influenced event organisers to remove her from DJ lineups by promising them airtime and questioning their loyalty to Jozi FM.
In the now-deleted Facebook post, Buthelezi claimed the alleged conduct began after she laid an assault charge against Makgopa in 2024. According to the court papers, that criminal matter was later dismissed due to insufficient evidence.
