Ngoma later took to her Twitter account to clear the air. She said that she was safe at home and that her account had been hacked. She even deleted the initial tweet that claimed that she had gone missing.
"I'm home and safe," tweeted Buhle before posting that she was taking down the tweet because it was all lies.

Unfortunately, Mzansi Twitter users did not take the matter lightly and are demanding answers from Buhle. Others are claiming that she pulled the stunt because she owes some customers their money and did not want to pay it back.

"Why would this member of your team cook up this story then put your number on the poster? Why would we call the victim to tell the victim that the victim has been found? Does that make sense to you or your exec?"
@These_tears noted:
"But how is it posted on your account Buhle? Nna you annoy me because you are actually gifted but the stunts that you keep pulling are just cruel and atrocious. Do better!"
