Nozuko Mbalula’s Legal Victory
Nozuko Mbalula recently secured an interdict against social media influencer Musa Khawula, who is now barred from spreading defamatory allegations about her involvement in massive fraud and corruption.
On Thursday, the Johannesburg High Court ruled that Khawula’s claims about Nozuko Mbalula and Michelle Perrow were defamatory and false. On May 8, Khawula posted on his X account alleging that Nozuko and Perrow were involved in a R150 million fraud and corruption scandal.

Court Ruling and Orders
Judge Nicolene Janse van Nieuwenhuizen declared Khawula’s publication of the statement unlawful and liable for damages to both parties. Khawula was ordered to retract the statement within 48 hours from all media platforms by deleting the thread of statements.
Additionally, Khawula was forbidden from conducting any interviews or posting statements on X or any other social media platforms implying that Nozuko and Perrow were involved in fraud and corruption.
The court referred the quantification of damages to oral evidence and ordered Khawula to pay Mbalula and Perrow’s legal costs, including the costs of two counsels.
