Durban rapper's team shocked by jailing in Australia
The management of musician Simiso Zwane who has been jailed in Australia for sexual assault say they have been rocked by what has happened.
The Umlazi-born rap artist who is known as OkMalumKoolKat has been sentenced to a month in jail by a court in Hobart after he admitted guilt.
According to the Mercury, Zwane performed at a music festival in Tasmania last Friday. He is said to have gone out drinking afterwards but somehow got locked out of his hotel room.
Zwane then entered the hotel room of another female artist through an open sliding door and found her asleep. The woman says she awoke to find Zwane kissing and touching her.
Stamp Communications' Bulie Nazo says they don't dispute the woman's claims.
"At this stage we have limited information regarding the judgement against Simiso Zwane in Australia. However with no previous legal charges against him or history of any kind of violence whatsoever, and knowing Simiso as we, and most of you do, we can say that the news comes as a huge surprise" , she said.
