During an interview with DJ Sbu on Radio 2000, DJ Tira, accompanied by his wife, Gugu Khathi, expressed his intention to allow the law to take its course.<\/p>\n<p>Gugu emphasized that their family is often targeted whenever they are working on significant projects, suggesting that the current situation is a distraction from their endeavors, including the upcoming Hollywoodbets Durban July marquee.<\/p>\n<p>Gugu also acknowledged her familiarity with Luke and stated that she harbors no ill will towards her. However, she explained that the decision to pursue legal action was driven by the need to protect their business relationships, as the allegations have had a negative impact on their partnerships and sponsorships.<\/p>\n<p><em>Source:MDN News<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Subscribe to our Youtube Channel: <\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>South African popular Deejay, DJ Tira, who is also a renowned Afrotainment record label boss, is set to appear in the High Court on Friday, June 28, in a defamation case against singer Luke Ntombela.
