by Zintle Mdaka

Award-winning social media personality Sabelo Hadebe, popularly known as Sabelo the Kreator, denied the sexual assault accusations levelled against him.

This is after he was called out on social media by a person with a username @PIE_RRE_O on X (formerly Twitter). He shared that he was made aware of the accusations with concern by his close friends and family.

“I would like to make it known that the person behind the account PIERRE-O and other anonymous people with subsequent posts are unknown to me. I do not know PIERRE-O, and I have never had any interaction with them at any university or elsewhere, let alone had a romantic relationship or otherwise with them,” he penned.

Sabelo also denied having a verbal altercation with anyone with that name. He also said that anonymous accounts have repeated similar claims about an incident that is said to have happened 10 years ago, but none of them have contacted him or identified themselves.

“I further deny that I raped, alternatively, attempted to rape PIERRE-O or any person for that matter. My stance against the plight that is sexual violence has always been clear. I believe victims, I stand by victims,” he said.

He also urged victims to report to police, and committed to cooperating with authorities.

The X user identified Sabelo as the perpetrator last week Friday when the GBV shutdown was underway in South Africa. Some accounts also responded with their experiences.
