Phamotse ‘fears for her life’

Cops escort ‘tailed’ author home

- By Chrizelda Kekana

Jackie Phamotse‚ author of controvers­ial book Bare‚ had to call police for help when she allegedly realised she was being followed by two cars.

Jackie‚ who recently celebrated signing onto Rosie Motene’s company Waka Agency‚ claimed that she had been followed on Monday. “I was driving from Braamfonte­in to Pretoria for a meeting but I had noticed throughout the day there were two cars that were following me,” she told TshisaLIVE.

“Everywhere I went‚ these two cars were there.”

She said the realisatio­n kicked in when the cars were parked near her meeting location. This after she had done multiple reroutes to try to dodge the two Jeeps.

However‚ Jackie said she continued with her plans but soon realised her life might be in danger as one car drove in front of her‚ with the other following just behind.

The author explained that she called the police to escort her.

“We had to get an escort from the highway all the way to my house.”

Jackie’s new book cover, I tweet what I like, was launched on Thursday. She told TshisaLIVE this is a totally different project from Bare and will use real names of real life prominent people.

After the controvers­y sparked by Bare‚ the internet has been waiting in anticipati­on for the big reveal.
