King of kwaito Arthur Mafokate's romantic relationship with his artist, singer Cici, has been exposed after a domestic fight that landed her in hospital.

The revelation came after Cici, real name Busisiwe Twala, opened a case of assault against Mafokate, whom she called "my boyfriend" in the police statement. She accused him of dragging her on the street with his car during an argument. The romantic details about the couple had been a subject of speculation after it emerged that Chomee, who was also alleged to be romantically linked to Mafokate, had moved out of his house in Midrand, north of Joburg.

It was said then that Mafokate had been secretly dating Chomee for some time.

Sunday World can reveal today that Mafokate has now let the cat out of the bag and confirmed in his police statement that he and Cici are boyfriend and girlfriend.

According to a police statement deposed by Cici, the domestic fight was prompted by Mafokate. She said he had received a phone call from another woman while they were in the bedroom around 8pm on Thursday.

Mafokate chose to answer the call outside, a move that raised her suspicions that he could be talking to a side chick.

Cici told the police that a few minutes later she heard him giggling and she developed an interest on who Mafokate was speaking to.

Mafokate refused to disclose the identity of the woman on the other side of the line, said Cici.

She said she tried to grab the phone from him, but Mafokate started arguing with her.
