Speaking to TshisaLIVE in 2022 when the allegations arose, he denied them saying that his family member had been “showing signs of mental and spiritual instability” since the beginning of May.“Once you’ve been charged you are guilty until proven innocent especially with social media. So it’s just been a very painful journey for me. I’ve never been violent with anyone and I’ve never been that kind of person ... Only for me, at my age to be charged for the first time in my life.

Mangaliso said he was working on doing a podcast he said he wants to help men who find themselves in a similar position. “There are many men, even my industry colleagues, who doubted me and were confused by the whole thing and a lot of them who wanted me to be found guilty. So I just want to use my skill and talent as a broadcaster to highlight these problems, that’s the best thing I can do in these situations.”

“I’m really relieved because it’s not nice being dragged to court and having to stand in front of a magistrate. It’s so embarrassing and so demeaning and for someone like me who’s in the film industry. This thing put a final nail in my coffin and it killed my career in a bad way. I’m just lucky that I was able to latch onto something else and continue being able to sustain myself and my family but it’s a really painful thing to go through.
