Okmalumkoolkat "apologises" in Twitter rant

accreditation

Ever since the week started with the City Press article that called a spade a spade, social media has been a confrontational environment for the man in question and his supporters.

Yesterday AKA expressed his anger at the article's headline in what many thought was the voice of a rape apologist. Meanwhile KoolKat, as befitting his stage name, calmly retweeted his fans throughout the whole furore.

However, today Zwane used this same platform to express lukewarm remorse, albeit in an ALL CAPS series of tweets, for indecently assaulting a woman in Australia at the beginning of 2016.

In the apology he states how he failed to issue a solid apology to the media when he returned to the country, but in the same breath that the media should not use his story to "sell papers."

The apology appears insincere and confused and we can't help feeling it smacks of a publicity stunt to get the views rolling in for his latest music video (which he plugs more than once in his apology).

Nah, not OK-Malumkoolkat. We need something a little more genuine than a twitter rant, please.
