JOHANNESBURG - TV presenter Katlego Maboe has been suspended from the SABC 3 Expresso Breakfast Show pending an investigation into allegations of gender-based violence.

Maboe released a statement denying the abuse allegation.
Meanwhile, a video was released on social media on Friday showing Maboe admitting to cheating on his partner on one occasion with a woman who apparently works at the insurance company for which he is an ambassador.
In the video, Maboe's partner also states that he gave her a sexually-transmitted disease, which could affect her ability to have more children. The couple currently share a child.
Channel24 reported on Friday that Expresso had removed Maboe from the show pending an internal investigation.
"We condemn any acts of violence and mistreatment, especially against women and children, and therefore take such allegations very seriously. Until such time as the matter has been fully investigated, and pending the outcome, Katlego Maboe will not be appearing on The Expresso Morning Show," the show's production company told Channel24.
