Zwai Bala allegedly bans Phelo from using their family surname

According to ZiMoja, the former TKZ member has taken matters into his own hands. He decided to ban his younger brother Phelo from using their family name to secure business deals and his brand.

In an alleged open letter, Zwai made it clear to Phelo that he mustn't use their surname. He had long mentioned that he didn't want to be a part of the family, and it was only fair for him to surrender his use of the Bala brand.

He wrote:

"Dear Phelo, your business opportunities were and are highly due to the strength of the brand Bala, which you were afforded access to. To cut to the chase, I think it is only fair of me to allow you to surrender the use of brand Bala for commercial steps without taking legal steps."

When the publication (ZiMoja) contacted Zwai for a comment, he mentioned that he did this because Phelo is very rebellious and doesn't want to learn from his mistakes. Furthermore, he also explained how it hurt him when Phelo said he was homophobic every time they had a squabble.

He said:

"Even with his drinking issues, nothing has changed; he is just rebellious. Phelo likes to pull the homophobic card to gain public sympathy."
