Photo fuels speculation that MySol will answer Benjy Maponya’s claims

A photograph circulating on social media shows mining businessman Solomon “Solly” Soka Madibela, known as MySol, apparently preparing to give his side of the bitter business dispute with former partner Benjamin “Benjy” Maponya, who accused him of cutting him out of a lucrative chrome-mining operation and making personal demands, including that he leave his wife. Maponya’s allegations, made during his Podcast and Chill interview, prompted MySol to obtain an interim Gauteng High Court interdict restricting the publication of certain disputed claims, with a further court date reportedly set for 22 October.

The source stops short of explaining what MySol intends to say, since the photograph does not include a statement from him or any indication of where or when he might respond. The post also does not say whether he has been approached by the same podcast or whether he plans to respond through his lawyers instead. Those details matter because they would establish whether a public response is actually coming. Without them, the photograph fuels speculation without confirming anything.

Some viewers said MySol was right to seek the interdict if the claims were disputed and that the proper place to answer them was in court rather than on a podcast. Others said the public deserved to hear his version of events after Maponya made his allegations so publicly, and some said the dispute had become a spectacle that was harming both men’s reputations. The reaction focused on the possibility of a response rather than on the allegations themselves.

What has not been settled is whether MySol will appear publicly to respond or whether the matter will be resolved in court on 22 October. The photograph does not confirm that an interview has been arranged or that he has agreed to address the allegations publicly. The public is waiting for the court date and for any statement from MySol, because the claims made by Maponya have not been tested and the interdict has restricted the publication of some of the disputed material.
