Nota accused Shimza of dating President Ramaphosa’s communications officer, Athi Geleba and using her to bag these contracts.

He said:

“Shimza has been benefitting from political connections for years. He called me a moerskont but I don’t moerskont on taxpayer’s money. Khusela Diko was fired for allowing her husband to win PPE tenders and he later died of COVID19 complications. Athi’s boy toy will cost her.”

However, social media users wanted answers.

@mkhululi_simon said:

“How did the Hang Awt get the tender from Department of Tourism to host the cookout show? Was the tender advertised? Did you pitch? People need to know because it's taxpayers money.”

@matodzi_malouia said:

“Rumors are that u've been benefiting from your friend Mzwandile. Please don't sue me, I don't have R500K. Anyway I'm talking about Mzwandile, not the other one.”

@beeniedlamini said:

“Iba ne nhloni Shimza, you were handing out to the needy under a pandemic while accepting funds of fruitless expenditures from the state.”

@malcolm_x_2010 said:

“I used to think Shimza is a businessman but he is just another tenderprenuer...Y’all just get business contracts and funding from government while acting like smart business people...Mxm you are a politician bruh.”
