< / 2008 >

SO NICE TO DO A VERY CURRENT 2008 REVIEW...FORGETTING ALL THE BULLSHIT AND HYPE THAT WAS 2008 AND JUST GOING DOWN TO THE MEAT AND BONES OF WHAT I LOVED COMING OUT THE MESS OF NEON AND SNAP! THE MOOD IS THE ANTETHISIS OF RETROSPECT...I'M LOOKING AT NOW AND FORWARD...HOUSE MUSIC WON...I DIDN'T SEE THAT COMING, BUT THE YEAR IS DEAD AND SOUTH AFRICAN HOUSE AND KWAITO IS REALLY DESTROYING MY STEREO AND CREDIBILITY AROUND THE YARD WITH MY GRAND MAMA.

DJ CLEO SAYS HE LOVES DOGS AND OWNS FOUR AT THE MOMENT

SO IT'S SUMMER IN THE SOUTH AND THE CLUB BANGERS AND STREET BANGERS ARE COMING IN HARD AND FAST...ONE OF THE CHIEF CULPRITS IS DJ CLEO OTHERWISE KNOWN AS BLEKSEM (WHEN RAPPING)

BUT IT'S NOT ALL GUNS AND ROSES OUT HERE...
THE RUMOUR MILL, KEEPS SPINNING.

******************************************************
The SPCA have been trying to question DJ Cleo for the past year after one of his dogs was sexually molested.
The dog was eventually put down as its intestines were hanging out when it was brought to the SPCA in Randburg on May 15 2006.

The dog, a Boerboel bitch named Tiger, was in such a “shocking condition” that the centre manager, Phillip Roberts, threatened to have the two musicians that had brought the dog in arrested on the spot.

Sunday World established that the two musicians who took the dog to the SPCA were DJ What What, real name Brian Kgoe, and kwaito singer, Mavo, who refused to supply his real name.

DJ What What is DJ Cleo’s protégé, while Mavo works with Chicco Twala.

Mavo confirms the incident.

He says: “The centre manager wanted to call the police to come and arrest us after it was established that the dog had been penetrated by a human being. We told him we were just messengers as the dog belonged to DJ Cleo.”

He confirms that the dog’s intestines were hanging out of its private parts when they brought it to the centre.

He adds: “We were released after Phillip took DJ What What’s contact details. “We promised him that we were going to ask DJ Cleo to phone him.”

Mavo claims that when they delivered the message to DJ Cleo, born Cleopas Monyepao, the award-winning house music star started laughing and didn’t even try to phone the centre. Mavo adds: “The story about the dog (being sexually molested) became the best kept secret. I don’t know how you guys found it out.”

A Sunday World source claims that a plan was hatched to frame DJ Cleo’s gardener, known only as Petros – because “he was a Zimbabwean national and illegal in this country” – as the culprit if the police came and questioned them.

The source says: “Petros was so angry when he found out that he was being painted as a dog rapist. “He resigned on the spot after telling DJ Cleo to go and rot in hell.”

When Sunday World visited the centre on Friday, they confirmed the incident regarding Tiger but refused to elaborate further citing “doctor and client confidentiality”.

A source says DJ Cleo was phoned several times to come and explain how and who molested his dog but each time he hears it’s someone from the SPCA, he hangs up the phone. The matter was not pursued after Roberts left the centre in December.

When Sunday World confronted DJ Cleo about the allegations, he vehemently denied that the SPCA had been trying to contact him. But he confirmed that he sent his dog to the centre after it was molested. He says: “They are telling lies. They never tried to contact me.

“But it is true that I sent my dog there after I found it with its intestines hanging out.”

The muso also confirms that he was told by his two messengers, DJ What What and Mavo, that the SPCA had told them that the dog had been molested.

He adds: “I questioned my gardener about the matter but he denied it. But one day when he was drunk he admitted that he did it and I fired him.”

DJ Cleo says he loves dogs and that he owns four at the moment.
