An out-of-court settlement is on the horizon for showbiz's towers DJ Zinhle and Metro FM presenter Bonang Matheba after they were embroiled in an ugly catfight over hip-hop camel AKA.
Matheba's lawyer Bongani Khoza and Zinhle's legal representative will meet tomorrow to thrash out details of the settlement. The two legal brains were to meet on Friday but postponed the gathering due to hectic schedules.
Matheba referred all questions to Khoza, who said: "We can only confirm the meeting has been moved to Monday."
DJ Zinhle, real name Ntombezinhle Jiyane, referred us to her public relations manager Nomndeni Mdakhi, who had not responded to queries by late yesterday.
The two apparently agreed to settle out of court after Matheba's lawyer wrote to DJ Zinhle, giving her an ultimatum to either apologise for accusing his client of being a home wrecker or face litigation.
The letter, seen by Sunday World and demanding that the apology be made by last Monday, read in part: "Our client has thus instructed us to demand from you, as we hereby do, that you give an undertaking, by no later than the close of business on Monday, September 14 2015, that you shall refrain from publishing defamatory statements about her.
"The apology shall be made by no later than the close of business on Monday, September 14 2015, and refrain from threatening our client. Should you not accede to the aforesaid demands, our instructions are to immediately apply for an interdict against yourself at the High Court, in respect of the threatening conduct that you are displaying against our client and the costs of such an application shall be for your account."
But DJ Zinhle cocked a snook at Matheba's demands and posted snide remarks on her Twitter account.
Sunday World learnt that Khoza was shopping around for a formidable advocate this week to apply for an interdict when DJ Zinhle extended the olive branch.
