Bujy: I never hit Boity with champagne bottle
JOHANNESBURG - Radio and TV personality Sthembinkosi Junior ‘Bujy’ Bikwa insists he never hit rapper and reality TV star Boity Thulo with a champagne bottle during a brawl between the pair over a year-and-a-half ago.
Recounting the series of events leading up to Thulo sustaining a cut on her face, the former Metro FM star says he regrets everything that happened that evening. In October 2021, news reports surfaced that Thulo and Bikwa were involved in a physical altercation, at a hotel in Johannesburg.
At the time, Thulo confirmed in a statement that she was allegedly assaulted and revealed that she had opened a case with the SAPS following the violent incident with Bikwa.
Bikwa, who spent seven days at the
Johannesburg Correctional Centre jail, also opened a counter-assault case against Thulo. Speaking to Nkululeko Nkewu in the latest ‘Nkululeko n Culture’ podcast, Bikwa said all he wants is for the truth to come out, reiterating that he wishes to make peace with Thulo.
He shared: “I regret that day ... what was I doing there? I keep asking myself, why didn’t I go home?”
“I have never hit anyone with a bottle of champagne and I have never stabbed anyone. ‘The story came out, ‘Bujy hits B with a bottle’, I didn’t do that.
“We exchanged words, and we were physical at some point, but it wasn’t that and I would really like for her to tell her part of the story.”
Making reference to the photograph that circulated on social media at the time, where Thulo was wearing what looked like a blood-stained shirt, Bikwa explained: “You saw a picture and everyone concluded that was blood. That was not blood. It’s red because of what I spilt her with.” With the ongoing court case, Bikwa said he hopes to clear his name when the truth finally comes out.
“I would rather have the court do what’s necessary … I still say, there is no way that I would go out of my way to harm anyone,” he said.
Bikwa is also urging Thulo to break her silence and tell Mzansi her side of the story. “I would really like to hear from her to say exactly what happened, maybe when she tells the story it will be a better narrative,” he said. Bikwa revealed that he reached out to Boity on the morning after that incident, ‘not to apologise, but to discuss what had happened’but he said he was met with hostility.
