South African Reality TV Star Sentenced to 12 Months House Arrest for Cyberbullying-OXYGIST

South African socialite and reality TV star, Inno Morolong, has been sentenced to 12 months of house arrest after being found guilty of crimen injuria by the Randburg Magistrate’s Court.


The case stemmed from Morolong’s 2023 Instagram Live session, where she accused her former friend and actress, Tebogo Thobejane, of being a scammer, sex worker, and engaging in illegal activities involving muthi (juju). Thobejane took legal action, leading to Morolong’s conviction last week.


As part of her sentence, Morolong must:


- Serve 12 months under house arrest, confined from 6 PM to 6 AM on non-working days.


- Complete at least 16 hours of community service per month.


- Attend rehabilitation and life skills programs.


- Abstain from alcohol and drug use during the sentence.


Additionally, a 12-month prison term has been suspended for five years, meaning she will avoid jail time as long as she does not commit a similar offence within this period.


Tebogo Thobejane, reacting to the verdict, expressed relief, writing on Instagram:


"Justice has been served. Let this be a reminder that stalking, harassment, and bullying are serious offences."
