South African rapper, Smiso Zwane, commonly known by his stage name Okmalumkoolkat, has apologised once again on Twitter today for violating a woman in Australia last year. In 2016 Zwane was arrested for sexually assaulting a woman in her hotel room in the Australian city of Hobart. He returned to Mzansi after serving a one-month jail sentence in Tasmania. Check out the tweets:

I AM SINCERELY SORRY THAT A WOMAN FELT VIOLATED ON MY ACCOUNT. I SPENT TIME IN PRISON, SERVING A SENTENCE GIVEN TO ME BY THE JUSTICE SYSTEM
— DON SPOVINGTON (@okmalumkoolkat) March 8, 2017
I ADMIT THAT I DID NOT ISSUE A SOLID APOLOGY WHEN I GOT BACK. INSTEAD I OPTED TO STOP THE MEDIA FROM HARASSING MY FAMILY & TEAM. APOLOGIES

UNDERSTAND THAT SEXUAL ASSAULT IS PART OF A DISEASE CALLED 'RAPE' AND THIS DISEASE PLAGUES THE WHOLE WORLD BUT MUCH MORE WIDESPREAD IN S.A
— DON SPOVINGTON (@okmalumkoolkat) March 8, 2017
RAPE IS EVERYWHERE, AT HOME, IN THE WORKPLACE, AT PARTIES, IN RELATIONSHIPS EVEN IN MARRIAGE
— DON SPOVINGTON (@okmalumkoolkat) March 8, 2017
WITH THAT BEING SAID, ITS AN ISSUE WE STILL BATTLE TO TALK ABOUT. VICTIMS ARE USUALLY SHAMED. OFFENDERS TOO

I AM A BROKEN MAN FROM THIS BROKEN SOCIETY. WHERE WE ARE ALL SMILES AND POUTS ON SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS BUT WE DONT TALK ABOUT THESE ISSUES
— DON SPOVINGTON (@okmalumkoolkat) March 8, 2017
WE LIVE IN A SOCIETY WHERE ITS OK TO OBJECTIFY WOMEN, WHERE WOMEN ARE ALWAYS SCARED OF THEIR WELLBEING. THIS IS TRUE, I HAVE TWO SISTERS
— DON SPOVINGTON (@okmalumkoolkat) March 8, 2017
WE LIVE IN A SOCIETY WHERE OUR FAVOURITE MUSIC IS BASHING WOMEN AND ITS COOL. NOBODY SAYS OR WRITES ANYTHING ABOUT THAT. NO ONE
— DON SPOVINGTON (@okmalumkoolkat) March 8, 2017
I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY THE FACT THAT WE ARE ANTI-RAPE AND WE GONNA KEEP MAKING ART THAT WILL INFLUENCE A BETTER GENERATION
— DON SPOVINGTON (@okmalumkoolkat) March 8, 2017
LISTEN TO MY WHOLE ALBUM 'MLAZI MILANO' DO I BASH WOMEN? IS THERE A SINGLE 'B' WORD IN THERE? MY CONTENT IS POSITIVE
— DON SPOVINGTON (@okmalumkoolkat) March 8, 2017
MY EXPERIENCE TAUGHT ME A LOT ABOUT OUT CURRENT GENDER RELATIONS. IT GOT ME THINKING ABOUT HOW TO RAISE A BETTER GENERATION OF BOYS & GIRLS
— DON SPOVINGTON (@okmalumkoolkat) March 8, 2017
THAT EXPERIENCE ALSO TAUGHT ME TO BE MORE RESPONSIBLE WITH MY CRAFT AND THAT IS EVIDENT ON THIS ALBUM. I AM A POSITIVE VOICE
— DON SPOVINGTON (@okmalumkoolkat) March 8, 2017
I BELIEVE ART IS MORE INFLUENTIAL THAN GIVING TALKS THAT IS WHY I CHOOSE THIS ROUTE. TALKS ARE LIKE ART IN GALLERIES, FOR THE SELECTED FEW
— DON SPOVINGTON (@okmalumkoolkat) March 8, 2017
WITH THAT BEING SAID, I WOULD LIKE TO APOLOGISE AGAON TO EVERYBODY, ESPECIALLY WOMEN. I AM SINCERELY SORRY
— DON SPOVINGTON (@okmalumkoolkat) March 8, 2017
I LOVE WOMEN AND I AM NOT PROUD OF MY ACTIONS OUT THERE IN AUSTRALIA. REAL TALK
— DON SPOVINGTON (@okmalumkoolkat) March 8, 2017
MEDIA WILL ALWAYS TRY SELL PAPERS BUT NEVER BE THE PLATFORM FOR A CURE FOR SUCH SOCIETY ISSUES.WE HAVE NOTHING TARGETED AT A YOUNG BLACK BOY
— DON SPOVINGTON (@okmalumkoolkat) March 8, 2017
WE HAVE NO MAGAZINES, NO PUBLICATIONS TARGETED AT RAISING YOUNG BLACK MEN. WE ONLY HAVE MUSIC AND THE STREETS
— DON SPOVINGTON (@okmalumkoolkat) March 8, 2017
THIS IS THE REASON WHY I WILL NOT STOP CREATING ART. EVEN IF I HAVE MADE A MISTAKE LIKE I DID. INFACT THAT PUSHES MY ART EVEN MORE
— DON SPOVINGTON (@okmalumkoolkat) March 8, 2017
I DESIGNED AN ARTWORK FOR @akaworldwide CAIPHUS SONG, LAST MONTH. ITS ABOUT REAL LOVE AND THATS WHAT WE ARE PROMOTING. WHY TEAR THAT DOWN?
— DON SPOVINGTON (@okmalumkoolkat) March 8, 2017
WHY WRITE ABOUT IT ONLY NOW, A FEW WEEKS LATER. WHEN I HAVE JUST DROPPED #GQIMUSICVIDEO AND THE RESPONSE IS GOOD.
— DON SPOVINGTON (@okmalumkoolkat) March 8, 2017
THIS IS PROBABLY THE FIRST TIME I HAVE DESIGNED AN ARTWORK FOR A FELLOW ARTIST, THIS IS IS NEW THING IN OUR INDUSTRY. IS THIS A BAD THING?
— DON SPOVINGTON (@okmalumkoolkat) March 8, 2017
THESE TWETS ARE NOT FROM MY P.R TEAM. THEY ARE FROM ME, LET ME REPHRASE ' I AM SORRY I VIOLATED A WOMAN'
— DON SPOVINGTON (@okmalumkoolkat) March 8, 2017
SINCE THERE ARE ONLY 140 CHARACTERS ON TWITTER. A LOT OF THINGS I WROTE HERE WILL BE USED OUT OF CONTEXT TO PUSH AGENDAS AND SELL PAPERS
— DON SPOVINGTON (@okmalumkoolkat) March 8, 2017
PLEASE EXCUSE MY GRAMMAR, SPELLING AND PHRASING TOO, ENGLISH IS MY SECOND LANGUAGE
