Musa Khawula death rumours debunked

The self-proclaimed Pope of Pop Culture, Musa Khawula, is reportedly alive and well. However, according to a report from Sunday World, the controversial celebrity blogger is behind bars after failing to appear in court.

Khawula made a brief court appearance this week, wearing orange overalls. His case has been postponed until he secures a lawyer after his previous attorney allegedly dropped him.

Why was Musa Khawula arrested?

Musa Khawula appeared at the Vredenburg Magistrate’s Court in July when he was arrested.

Khawula is a suspect in the murder of his ex-partner Wandile Khambule, who he confessed in a YouTube video that it was self-defence.

However, when he appeared in court for that case, he was arrested for contempt of court. Khawula made defamatory allegations against Fikile Mbalula's wife, Nozuko Mbalula, and he was served.

How South Africans feel about Musa being alive?

Several people reacted with relief that Musa Khawula was alleged to have passed away. The likes of Somizi Mhlongo were sceptical to believe the reports, so he wrote on his Instagram page: "When he hears that he’s died. Ps: I do not believe until he himself announces that he has died or if I go to the funeral."
