Xolani Khumalo Faces More Legal Trouble Over New Show
Moja Love has come out guns blazing accusing former Sizok’thola presenter Xolani Khumalo of breaking the law by shooting his new show.
Khumalo, who hosted Moja Love’s well-known drug-busting program, Sizok’thola, was dismissed by the channel after he was arrested following a raid that tragically resulted in the death of a suspected drug dealer.
Following his dismissal, Xolani Khumalo said he was plotting his return to the small screen with his own drug-busting program “Operation Slyza Tsotsi”.

Now, Moja Love has issued a statement setting the record straight after receiving complaints from the embassies of Nigeria and the Democratic Republic of Congo that its citizens were being attacked while filming. The channel accused Xolani Khumalo of being the one who is breaking the law while filming his new show.
“Moja LOVE has been receiving complaints about unfortunate incidents during filming from The Consulate General of Nigeria and the Embassy of the DRC about their citizens who have been attacked during filming. Moja LOVE would like to set the record straight that it is not the channel’s property that has been filming and distances itself from the rogue activities,” part of the channel’s statement reads.

Moja Love also revealed that it will do everything in its power to stop Xolani Khumalo from filming his new show which follows the same concept as Sizok’thola. The channel has already taken action by sending a cease and desist letter to its former employee.
“Sizok’thola is the intellectual property of Moja LOVE and Xolani Khumalo is using the concept of the channel, which amounts to breaking the law. The channel has sent him a letter of cease and desist and we will do everything in power, within the law, to stop him. The channel will be meeting with The Consulate General of Nigeria and the DRC Ambassador as soon as possible to address the matter and clear its name. We appeal to the public to report any illegal activity to the police,” Moja Love said.
