Musa Khawula returns after weeks in jail, asks fans for donations after spilling hot tea

Khawula returned to his cell after his case was postponed due to a faulty scanner. The magistrate couldn’t set a trial date because Khawula’s lawyer didn’t have copies of the docket.

Speaking to Sunday World, Khawula’s lawyer, Ofentse Nkwanga, confirmed the development. He explained that the matter was postponed so that they could consult with their client.

“We have made an arrangement that we will get the copies. They will scan the docket and send it through to us, but then the case is postponed for us to consult with Khawula,” Nkwanga said.

The case stems from unfounded allegations Khawula made on his verified X (formerly Twitter) about Ze Nxumalo cheating on his wife and former Miss South Africa Tamaryn Green.

Khawula was reportedly arrested at a tavern in Dundee, KwaZulu-Natal, in January this year and has been behind bars ever since.

"Who's tweeting on his behalf and taking donations for him?"

@Jabulani_Comfi explained:

"When you leave jail for your court appearance, they hand over all your belongings back to you, in case court grants you bail. So you don't have to go back and fetch your things. So on the ride from the jail house to court, and coming back, he had his phone with him."

@MatshidisoAnnen questioned:

"So he is tweeting behind bars? No I have to Stan 😭😭"

@MondliF advised:

"Supposed to say I was hacked. Simple."
