According to ZiMoja, the star has allegedly scammed 25 film students with their money. The publication reported that several students came to them to report that after the star failed to fulfil his promises, he further scammed them by telling them to pay R20k and some R10k to study at his production, Dream Up Productions. They would be guaranteed jobs in TV commercials and film.

One student who didn't want to be named in fear of being targeted said that they want their money back since what Shibe promised didn't happen:

"My parents took their last money knowing that we are guaranteed jobs after completing the course."

Siyabonga allegedly disappeared into thin air after over R125,000 was paid to him by these students.
