The Biggest Fight of Her Career
Unathi is currently involved in what seems to be the biggest fight of her career: a high court case against her former employer, Kaya 959. She has stated that she plans to share her side of the story at the end of the case.
A Documentary in the Works
Through her production company, Unathi has begun shooting a documentary about her experiences. She promises to share all documents and both sides of the story at the end of the case. In a video shared on Instagram, she said, “I’ll share all documents and you’ll finally get both sides of the story.”
Gratitude for Support
Unathi thanked her followers for their support during this difficult time. She acknowledges that the case could last for months or even years, but assures her fans that she has been saving for this eventuality since being fired 18 months ago. “I knew this day would come,” she said.
