Fashionista Felepe 'floored' by Wandi Motlana

FASHION authority Felepe Mazibuko is seeking legal advice after he was allegedly floored with a slap and humiliated by flamboyant and rich socialite Wandi Motlana.

Motlana's father is the late Dr Nthato Motlana, who was a businessman and close friend and physician of the Mandela family.

Mazibuko says he was minding his own business at Club Hush at the SA Fashion Week after-party at the weekend when -- "out of nowhere" - Motlana approached their table and started to insult and assault him.

Mazibuko said it was not the first time he has been verbally abused and humiliated by Motlana.

"This is the third time this guy has done this. I was humiliated and violated," Mazibuko said. "I do not know what it was about. I do not know what this guy wants and I do not have time to entertain him.

"I do not need this bad energy. I am busy with projects and I do not want this thing to derail my focus."

Mazibuko said he was seeking legal advice.

Print journalist and TV show host Kuli Roberts, who witnessed the incident, said Mazibuko was chilling with her and the Kwela Tebza brothers when "out of the blue" Motlana started swearing at Mazibuko.

Roberts said: "We were shocked, because the whole thing was very random. At first I thought this guy was crazy because of the way he just started swearing at Felepe out of nowhere. He [Mazibuko] tried to run, but this guy [Motlana] kept on following him and insulting him, calling him a faggot and dragging him."

It is not the first time that Motlana Jnr has been in the news. Khanyi Mbau's ex-hubby, Mandla Mthembu, accused her of hitting on the rich Motlana Jnr.

Motlana denied the allegations. He said he was shocked when a hysterical Mazibuko told him that he had hit him.

Motlana said: "This is a case of mistaken identity. I did not touch that guy. Why would I? I do not know him. He might be having personal issues that have nothing to do with me.

"I have a lot on my plate. I have no time to beat people like Felepe. If he has a case, he must go to the police."

Club Hush's Melanie Ramjee said: "It was a Nigerian guy who beat up Felepe. Wandi and Felepe had a tiff. "
