How DJ Zinhle uncovered the truth

Malatji became a prime suspect after DJ Zinhle noticed that something was not right when her store was no longer generating a profit. She decided to set a trap.

"DJ Zinhle went with her friends to the store, and they bought some items. Later, she went back to the store and asked to see the money for the day, and Malatji failed to produce. She gave DJ Zinhle R200 and confessed," Daily Sun reported.

Netizens had more to say on Thobile Malatji's case.
