Joint Statement: Minnie And HUSH

August 16, 2011 by  

PRESS RELEASE: MEETING BETWEEN LEBLERH ARTIST MANAGEMENT & HUSH MANAGEMENT

LeBlerh Artist Management along with the management of HUSH met in the presence of Stephane Cohen, Minnie Dlamini, Melanie Ramjee, Sjula Dlamini, Marvin Cohen and Blessing Cele; in order to discuss the events of Friday 12th August 2011 where Minnie Dlamini was assaulted inside the club.

After much deliberation a resolution was reached. Both parties agree to the fact that Minnie was punched by a patron and the manager.

  • Regarding the manager, HUSH would like to apologise on his behalf and state that it was unintentional and that he was trying to defend Minnie.
  • At no point was Minnie assaulted by the bouncers at HUSH.
  • Both parties agree to the fact that the patron did in fact occupy a table that was reserved for Minnie and her friends.
  • After striking Minnie, the patron did disappear.
  • Minnie left the club immediately after the incident with her friends, Busisiwe Nkuna and Aurelia Nxumalo.
  • Both parties agree that there were no xenophobic undertones in Minnie Dlamini’s tweet directly after the incident as she was merely describing the patron that had fled the scene.

Hush and LeBlerh Artist Management have agreed to work together with the Rosebank Police in apprehending the patron and ensuring that he is brought to justice for striking Minnie Dlamini. Hush apologises to Minnie regarding the incident and ensures patrons that this was a rare incident that they will ensure never happens and that they, in no way, condone violence against women and their patrons in general.

The case for assault remains open at Rosebank Police station.

Signed,

Blessing ‘MaBlerh’ Cele (LeBlerh Artist Management on behalf of Minnie Dlamini)

Melanie Ramjee (Tutone Communications on behalf of HUSH)

  2. lira2m on Tue, 16th Aug 2011 9:51 pm 

    Finally! It wasn’t that difficult, this should have been done ages ago! Glad it’s resolved

  3. Sam on Tue, 16th Aug 2011 9:53 pm 

    Good thing Minnie’s name is cleared! She was telling the truth all along!

  4. J-Girl on Tue, 16th Aug 2011 9:57 pm 

    Truth will always win!
    I hope the matter is put to rest now!!

  5. Jellytot on Tue, 16th Aug 2011 9:57 pm

    Morongwe! Morongwe *shouting* where a u?? Iphi lengane edla utshwala ba 10 000 besi hambi fakaza izinto engazazi Morongwe!!!

    Well done Blessing. Minnie hope u will get better soon.

  7. Maratahelele on Tue, 16th Aug 2011 10:00 pm 

    hopefully those who were accusing minnie of lying will say sorry. Hopefully lungstap will finally realise that hush was wrong and his strong views against everyone who taking minnie’s side was right. Finally this case will rest.

    I think hypress should have done this from the start instead of trying to discredit minnie. I hope others have realised how people can turn against you,especially hypress who always act nice mara is really a snake.

  8. Fezzy on Tue, 16th Aug 2011 10:01 pm 

    Now was that difficult?

  9. student on Tue, 16th Aug 2011 10:08 pm 

    Hi JC fam, I’m new here *waves*
    I’m glad they put the issue to rest. Since the ‘national’ a afforda jwala ba R10 000 he should just hala at Minnie ba e discuss…LOL

  10. Mopedi thwi on Tue, 16th Aug 2011 10:13 pm 

    Pull a chair \__,sit,fold arms and wait for @sgoloza and @lustagp to comment

  11. DrDee on Tue, 16th Aug 2011 10:14 pm 

    Good for Minnie,but learn from this experience nana.Sometime it is best to be in the background celebrity or not.

  12. SocietyG on Tue, 16th Aug 2011 10:14 pm 

    OMG, finally. This truly bothered me, I unfollowed alot of people on twitter because of this. I am happy the matter is resolved. I am even happier Minnie’s name is cleared. What a strong young woman. I am still disappointed at Melanie for issuing that press release. Calling Minnie a liar. I hope this will be posted on their facebook page as well. To Minnie’s friends,Uyanda,XtraLarge,Sjulad u guys rock. Ok back to silent blogging*

  13. YolandaMeslane on Tue, 16th Aug 2011 10:15 pm 

    Mnxiiiiim! I’m glad the truth came out though… the 2 letters yesterday really got to me.

    I hope Minnie gets over this somehow & that her faith will heal the emotional scars.

    I stil hate this dumb nonsense trying to hush hush nonsense! So really it was not the bouncer but the manager & patron that punched her? Like that is supposed to make it better rather that worse.

    Mnxiiiiim again

  14. YolandaMeslane on Tue, 16th Aug 2011 10:16 pm 

    Thanks JC for keeping us posted about this matter

  15. lorrelai on Tue, 16th Aug 2011 10:20 pm

  18. lonah on Tue, 16th Aug 2011 10:48 pm

  19. cocolicious on Tue, 16th Aug 2011 11:13 pm 

    I’m reali hapi dat dis mess has been sorted out…hope those who wrote horrible things bout minnie eat their words…get well soon girly

  20. Lela on Tue, 16th Aug 2011 11:30 pm 

    Wow this is so matured,i forgive Melanie shem yhazi. Kudos nakuwe Blessing. God bless all of u! Lol @ Uthando,kumele ibanjwe lengane yamanga bese iyositshengisa la ekhona lo opepenyekile.

  21. lbg on Tue, 16th Aug 2011 11:36 pm 

    Ok no y dd this take so long. Y dnt they go to the chck wa go fagaza earlier she should know where the guy ran to, jst wondrn though if this guy ran away nd he wz ther wit som chkz, who paid the bill ya 10000.00?

  22. Nonkuku on Tue, 16th Aug 2011 11:43 pm 

    Yaze yand’ bora yonke lento
    So nw Hush suddenly agrees to wrong doing – after being agressive and worse they made ingane yabantu out to be some xenophobic brat! (All factors taken into consideration -acohol and ego’s)

    Mxm ningazodlala ngathi!!!

    Melanie ‘what what’ needs to find a new job – coz she sucks at being a publicist!!

    I would have reacted the same way Minnie did shem, any day, any time!
    Yazi nithanda kabi ugxeka abanye abantwana!
    #weareallhuman!

  23. Jika_Uthi on Tue, 16th Aug 2011 11:45 pm 

    What about that Photoshopped pix ka Minnie???

  24. RexonaABC on Tue, 16th Aug 2011 11:48 pm 

    Aye ye ye ‘MaBlerh’ . They should have done this all along. With my experience of working at a club, I don’t think a client who pays 10 000, just came with it in cash, he should have used his credit card to settle the bill or to reserve such a table, so I hope it will be easy to know his name. I am not expecting to hear hore he disappeared.

  25. Ntlantla on Wed, 17th Aug 2011 12:16 am 

    Where is the eye witness now? lol. Ukthanda ukungena izindaba inkinga usala wedwa!

  26. facebook on Wed, 17th Aug 2011 12:48 am 

    Thank u lawd there won’t be anymo statements – at least these two parties.

    I was fed up already

  27. cherries on Wed, 17th Aug 2011 1:11 am 

    hahaha yazi good question lbg! Mara Hush most stop it wth the hushing and tell us who the patron ngoba bayamazi, he did book a table and buy expensive alcohol afterall! Uphi u @sgoloza manje?

    I hope this is the last we hear of lendaba!

    Ps: who needs enemies with 2 faced friends like Melanie?

  28. @JoneighGALAXY™| GP ZA | AFRICA | Carpe Diem | Seize The Magic | 22CD64B6 on Wed, 17th Aug 2011 5:03 am 

    This is what PR should be about, going to the root of the problem before it gets out of hand. Morongwe Mokone was a fictional character created by Melanie Ramjee, nothing more nothing less. I reckon Hush needs a new publicist after Hypress’ mismanagement that resulted in this debacle.

  29. Sgoloza on Wed, 17th Aug 2011 7:09 am 

    Okay, I hope this is the last post regarding the Minnie saga with Hush! And Mablerh should consider changing the name of his co. It sounds stoooooopid! Imagine “who’s manages you?” “LeBlerh!” More like LeBlaaah! Even my 2 year old nephew is more creative than that.

    Minnie, I hope they find this NATIONAL, if he hasn’t fled the country as yet. Is Auriella trying to get famous or somethong? Can somebody give her a JOB pls, Euphonik, Minnie, anybody! Kunini azama umta bantu

  30. Sgoloza on Wed, 17th Aug 2011 7:16 am 

    Okay, let me get this straight, the MANAGER and the PATRON hit Minnie? So Minnie had 2 blows? What will happen to the manager? This story is still crappy you know that? I hope Minnie has learnt not to go to clubs age prohibited for her, and to quit acting like she’s somebody important and moneyed. She only landed last year! Be like expensive whiskey my girl, take it one day @ a time, cause you’ll get klapped again bawu delela. Funda and move forward, reach new heights.

  31. Cutie on Wed, 17th Aug 2011 7:32 am 

    @Sgoloza – I think you are out of line girl. Whatever MaBlerr choses to name his/her company is really none of your business. Whether your nephew is creative or not is irrelevant. Stop pulling people down ……

    Anyway back to the story, I’m glad this mess is sorted out.

  32. Lela on Wed, 17th Aug 2011 7:45 am 

    Eish Cutie have u not realise that Sgoloza is an attention seeker and attention seekers all have the PHD syndrom resulting from low self esteem.

  33. Lady gaga on Wed, 17th Aug 2011 8:18 am 

    This is good news. hope Melanie and Hush learn from their mistake(press release) and know how to handle such issues. Happy that Minnie’s name is cleard to some who believed she was lying. Welldone Leblerh and JC for keeping us posted. re a leboga.

  34. theeMAtshepo on Wed, 17th Aug 2011 8:22 am 

    Oh finallly!!! i was really starting to get annoyed with this story. Im glad they got to resolve this and hope they do find the patron that hit her.

  35. Lady gaga on Wed, 17th Aug 2011 8:23 am 

    @sgoloza yazi unomona. u such a jealous freak shem!!! pls shuuuruup now*in BS’s voice*

  36. Biskiti on Wed, 17th Aug 2011 8:29 am 

    I’m happy both camps met amicably and came to the above conclusion. However, i believe an apology is just not good enough after dragging Minnie’s name in the mud like that, exactly to the point of them insinuating that she was drunk & rude, and that only the manager got punched. Why did the manager change his tune all of a Monday? Hush need to come to the party, and no i’m not taking free invites here, monetary compensation. And Morongwe must khipha her kwere-kweric client, it should be easy to track naye loMorongwe, Oxford road doesn’t stretch that far.

    Lela Dali, don’t even waste your energy on this one ***painting Sgoloza’s face ka all 5 fingers*** Unobustraat mate nje lo!

  37. RexonaABC on Wed, 17th Aug 2011 8:32 am 

    Hai,MaBlerh has a company and he can name it whatever he likes, unlike you (you know youself) who is just tjatjaraging without bring bread on MaBlerh s table. Pity you will talk about ur 2 year nephew that we don’t know even he exists. Start your own company mannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn, then you can compare yourself to MaBlerh.

  38. Phindy on Wed, 17th Aug 2011 8:36 am 

    Are Minnie & Melanie friends? Really?! Wow! Bt nyway, @ least its sorted now. Do ppl actually walk around carrying that much cash @ clubs these days? No credit cards anymore? C’mon, reveal the patron so tht everyone can MOVE ON in peace hle!

  39. Sgoloza on Wed, 17th Aug 2011 8:37 am 

    Lmao! You all finish me. Say something that’s gon make me quiver, tired of you illiterates who work kuma call centre slaving away for some white man.

  40. RexonaABC on Wed, 17th Aug 2011 8:53 am 

    kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa. If I judge you by my standards it would not be fair because you will fail fail fail fail fail.

  41. Kadeeja B on Wed, 17th Aug 2011 8:56 am 

    Sgoloza is suffering of “PULL ME DOWN SYNDROME” n NIDS MBORO to take out dis demon. Whetha its LeBlerh or LeBlaaah okusala its HIS company n HE is makin Moola wit it so SHUP UP N SIT DOWN! I wonder wen will we as balck ppl learn to be suppotive of each other. I think Sgoloza just wants to see negative in ppl n hate to make him/herself feel better! Ur such a sad case!

    As 4 Minnie! Glad ur name is finally cleared! keep on smilin n risin ma dear ur destined 4 bigger n better things!!!

  42. Pule on Wed, 17th Aug 2011 9:03 am 

    Yawn!!
    I hope Blessing will also teach his clients that Twitter and facebook are not police stations and courts of law.
    All these press statements seem to be products of over inflated egos.

  43. Lustagp on Wed, 17th Aug 2011 9:03 am 

    Before i eat my humble, hoping to share it with Sgoloza!!

    Let me also point out his lie from someone in the Leblerh camp:

    ‘The manager completely ignored her and signalled the bouncers to remove Minnie from the table. Tha manager took side with the patron, but now you are agreeing to the fact that the manager was defending Minnie????? lets exercise fairness people please!!

    I am happy life will go on as usaul, and if i siad anything bad to Minnie my apologies!!

    Sgoloza you are on your own man, man i need to move one with life>>

  44. Mabhebeza on Wed, 17th Aug 2011 9:04 am 

    The truth shall always set you free, I’m happy for Minnie :)

    Now that is sorted out, can we move on please? NEXT!!

  45. Fezzy on Wed, 17th Aug 2011 9:07 am 

    Can we turn this into anything goes then?

  46. Pule on Wed, 17th Aug 2011 9:08 am 

    how is this degenerating to a black issue?

  47. LadyM on Wed, 17th Aug 2011 9:08 am

  50. Dark8lord on Wed, 17th Aug 2011 9:17 am 

    I do hope Minnie keeps her promise and never sets foot at Hush again, they practically lied and made her feel like shit. I’m DISGUSTED at Melanie Ramjee.

  51. dejane on Wed, 17th Aug 2011 9:20 am

    Tsek wena @sgoloza.How I wish that you were the one punched by those two men instead of Minnie.Bitterness and jealousy will kill you!

  53. kimmo on Wed, 17th Aug 2011 9:22 am

  54. siya on Wed, 17th Aug 2011 9:41 am 

    SGoloza Never HAS ANYTHING POSITIVE TO SAY ABOUT ANYONE!! SO ANNOYING, LACK OF SELF ESTEEM MAYBE?? YABORA MAAN!!

  55. mamamia on Wed, 17th Aug 2011 9:56 am 

    Hahahaha *sits on @dejane’s bench*

    Good job leBlerh management for sticking by your client.

    As for Hush the less said about them the better.

  56. Biskiti on Wed, 17th Aug 2011 10:04 am 

    High Five DeJane!
    Low Five.
    Small Five >> Explosion!!….lolest. My 7 year old niece is a bad influence.

    Celeb of the week>> Minnie Dlamini (for obvious reasons, poor thing).
    Moegoe of the week>> It’s a Combo, scratch that, it’s a platter: London Client, Hush Management, Morongwe & Sgoloza!

  57. Mapakisha on Wed, 17th Aug 2011 10:18 am 

    @Fezzy’s “Can we turn this into anything goes then?”
    By the powers vested by no one in me – this shall now become Anything Goes*grin*
    I have a feeling you have something interesting to tell everyone, we’re all eyes/ears.

  58. Monei on Wed, 17th Aug 2011 10:24 am 

    Ya Fezzy, le nna i wana hear what you have to share with us.

    Sgoloza usile. i think she shud get the same treatment as THE FACE, the less said abt her the better for all. and o worse ena she’s an unrepentant delinquent ya lana eJC, unlike others who offered criticism in the name of constructive criticism or honesty as a JC loyalist (eg alexis, lustagp,etc).

  59. Kadeeja B on Wed, 17th Aug 2011 10:36 am 

    Sgoloza Undinga umthandazo straight!!!Ur such a sad case!!
    Can we move on to another interestin topic!!!! #donewithu

  60. Fezzy on Wed, 17th Aug 2011 10:43 am 

    No guys, I am so down and have nothing exciting that I wanna share. Sorry.

  61. KewlGal on Wed, 17th Aug 2011 10:43 am 

    Well for someone who claims to be educated and an ‘Antropologist’, the character we are seeing here potrays that of a person who suffers from inferior complex, always puttin other people down and making them feel low, most of the times those are RED LIGHT signs of a person who is potraying how they really feel about themselves. I hope one day Sgoloza you will learn to love urself truly, cos when you love urself you give off love towards other ppl too.

    My gran used to say to me, If you continue to fill a glass with water its not blood that will spill over its water.

    meaning: what you fill urself with will eventually spill over, if you fill urself with hate, hate will be what we see from you, if u fill urself with love, love will be what comes out of you.
    now u can swear at me, i will understand…

    @Fezzy yiza nazo sisi..

    Well done MaBlerh…

  62. kimmo on Wed, 17th Aug 2011 10:47 am 

    guys why are you really wasting your enery on sgoloza, cause clearly she is enjoying this?

    @fezzy, waiting patiently ebile my tea is getting cold!

  63. facebook on Wed, 17th Aug 2011 10:50 am 

    This trend has turned into: ANYTHING SGOLOZA

  64. Mapakisha on Wed, 17th Aug 2011 11:18 am 

    Shame Fezz, maybe tell us why u down then, we’ll cheer you up.

  65. fabulicious on Wed, 17th Aug 2011 12:02 pm 

    ive been following this silently…so Happy for Minnie, well done LeBlerh

  66. Wild Island on Wed, 17th Aug 2011 2:31 pm 

    LABO…WHY NEBASABUWE SO FROM THE BIGINING HAU…mara ke how do u defend sumone ngokufaka loyomuntu inqindi? mxnm…case closed anyway..

  67. BGT on Wed, 17th Aug 2011 5:51 pm 

    This coming to a resolve is good news for all.

    Hopefully others will take heed of the amateur hour antics that were on display in this case and be mindful of this little thing called PUBLIC RELATIONS!

  68. BGT on Wed, 17th Aug 2011 6:16 pm 

    Actually, f**k diplomacy. The damage is already done for the Hush camp. They handled this whole thing DREADFULLY from day one. This whole amicable resolution is as suspect as the “eyewitnesses” who emerged on Twitter. Baphi manje, anyway?!
    Mxim. Anyway, I won’t dote on this any further.

  69. MissAN on Wed, 17th Aug 2011 8:24 pm 

    Clearly I am late to join in the Hush/Minnie fiasco but I couldn’t help but chuckle at the Boxer ad Minnie is in and the logo of the shop. Silly thought.

  70. LuvTerry on Thu, 18th Aug 2011 8:36 am 

    dankie,we can put this storyu to rest.. just becuase it happened to a person on tv now we must be drilled about it. when it happens to regular women and worse NOONE cares, why must we always bother and care about tv personalitys

  71. Mediocrity on Thu, 18th Aug 2011 8:51 am 

    It wasn’t the first time Minnie got assaulted at a club. Maybe she has an attitude/ego problem, unless anyone here knows her personally and has partied with her. Why attach the “angelic” connotation to her again?? Do we know her when she’s intoxicated?? No, we only see what she portrays on tv.

    Any rational person would’ve approached the manager and asked for another table. She’s in the entertainment industry for pete sake- misunderstandings take place frequently. Ask event organisers!! She should’ve ensured that there was no miscommunication on management’s side. Perhaps the guy got ticked off by HOW she approached him?? It doesn’t make sense why adults couldn’t just make other arrangements instead of turning this entire thing into a circus!! But its gon now:) phew! MOLOKO LOKO lol
