Jackie Phamotse is off the market

2y By Bongiwe Mati

Life as a house arrest detainee seems to be going very well for author and journalist Jackie Phamotse, after it came to light that she is spoken for, as she is allegedly now a married woman.

Jackie was recently a trending topic after she was sentenced to two years house arrest with a fine of R30k for a defamation of character case opened by married couple, Basetsana and Romeo Kumalo for a tweet she shared in 2018, which claimed that Romeo had a sex tape which was captured with a young male celebrity.

According to a statement sent out by the Kumalo matriarch, the cyberbullying caused her family a lot of traumas that led to their move to Cape Town, leaving a home they dearly loved just to protect themselves and their kids from the embarrassment after that emanated from the allegations.

The author of The Hockey Club who is soon to laugh a new book shared pictures on her Instagram page of herself covering her beautiful dreadlocks with a head doek (head wrap), with a blanket that worn when engaging in traditional ceremonies such as lobola (dowry) negotiations or traditional weddings covering her shoulders.
She captioned her smiling pictures, “@wave_rhyder you made my day so special! Your music carried us! Thank you.”
