Author and activist, Jackie Phamotse, is back at it again, causing a stir on social media. In a recent Instagram story, she confidently declared, “Save your coins! It’s about to get lit!” Oh, Jackie, you always know how to grab our attention.
It seems that the “Bare Nation” has been clamouring for a new book from Jackie Phamotse, and she’s ready to deliver. With her manuscript completed, she’s armed with her trusty pen, ready to unleash her words upon the world. And boy, are we in for a treat!
But wait, what’s all this talk about Romeo and Basetsana Kumalo? Could Jackie’s cryptic message be aimed at them? For those who may have missed it, Basetsana and Romeo recently emerged victorious in a defamation case against Phamotse.

The court sentenced her to two years of correctional supervision (house arrest) and slapped her with a hefty fine of R30,000. Ouch!
Now, before you start feeling too sorry for Jackie, she did manage to negotiate an upfront payment of R4,000, with the rest to be paid in monthly instalments. Plus, she’ll have to perform 16 hours of community service each month and report to a social worker regularly. Talk about the consequences of your actions!
Jackie has been contacted by The Times Post for comment on her new book.
So, what exactly did Jackie do to land herself in this legal mess? Well, back in 2018, she took to social media and made some rather suggestive insinuations about a famous media mogul and her husband, according to a SurgeZirc SA report.
Without directly naming names, she managed to stir up enough speculation to send Basetsana and Romeo’s names trending. Of course, the couple wasted no time in releasing a statement, dismissing Phamotse’s claims as nothing more than “salacious.” But the damage was done, and their reputations took a hit.
Basetsana and Romeo Kumalo are no strangers to the spotlight. As prominent figures in South Africa, they’ve had their fair share of ups and downs. From successful careers to philanthropic endeavours, they’ve made their mark on the country.
But being in the public eye comes with its challenges. Maintaining a pristine reputation can be a daunting task, especially when faced with false accusations.
The Kumalos’ court battle with Phamotse only added fuel to the fire, further intensifying the discussions surrounding their recent viral performance. It’s a reminder that fame isn’t all glitz and glamour. Behind the scenes, public figures often grapple with the consequences of rumours.
So, as we eagerly await Jackie Phamotse’s upcoming book, let’s not forget the lessons we’ve learned from this saga.
Words have power, and with great power comes great responsibility. Let’s hope that as readers, we can discern fact from fiction and appreciate the artistry that Phamotse brings to the table.
Until then, South Africa, let’s keep our coins safe and prepare for a lit literary experience like no other!
