Witness A, an organised crime investigator, - who is testifying from a safe house for his protection has mentioned an occasion where he got invited by Lerato Kganyago's husband, Thami Ndlala, to a party that took place at the luxurious establishment.

During the week the luxury establishment released a statement distancing itself from any association with Kganyago or her husband.
It went on to clarify that the alleged party never occurred on its premises.

The statement also added that the Metro FM on-air personality has no ownership, managerial or operational role in the business property.
“We note with concern that media commentary has directed criticism towards Mrs Lerato Kganyago despite her having no association with the business operations,” clarified the statement.
The controversy of the hotel dates back to when the on-air Metro FM personality came out on social media in 2022 claiming that the hotel was gifted to her for Valentines Day by her husband per The Citizen.
