The EFF's Mbuyiseni Ndlozi has stepped up and shown his support for South African gospel star Dr Tumi after he and his wife were released from jail on bail after they handed themselves in to the police following allegations of fraud.

In his post, the EFF member shared a Bible verse as well as a photo of Dr Tumi. The caption of the post suggests that Ndlozi believes that the gospel singer is innocent and that his innocence will be proven soon.

"No weapon formed against you shall prosper!" wrote Ndlozi in the post.

While many people loved seeing Ndlozi showing some support for Dr Tumi, not all comments were positive as many were still in disbelief around the fraud scandal. Read a few of their comments below:

@BlackCulture_HM said:

"We all know he is innocent."

@just_vibesjeh said:

"So Zuma must be arrested but when it comes to Dr Tumi, it's 'no weapon formed against him shall prosper.' Interesting."

@ODWAkaTIME joked:

"Life is hard. Dr Tumi sells music and he's a medical doctor. But still commits fraud. So who am I? I haven't even bought new underwear in a year. It is time I started stealing too."

Briefly.co.za earlier reported that gospel singer Dr Tumisang Makweya, better known as "Dr Tumi", has been released on bail along with his wife for allegedly defrauding the National Lotteries Board. The couple handed themselves over to the authorities on Tuesday.
