Why Dlala Thukzin bought a second home in Joburg

A source who spoke to TshisaLive alleged that Dlala Thukzin didn't decide to buy a new home in Johannesburg overnight. The source explained why the iPlan hitmaker purchased a house in Jozi.

“The sound of the ocean, the slow pace of the streets, and the community of Lamontville that raised him were etched into his soul. The travelling and from time to time paying for hotel rooms was draining for him, so the Joburg house is home-away-from-home for him. But the music scene in Johannesburg called to him like a bassline in a packed club — loud, relentless, and impossible to ignore. So, the boy is now in Jozi”, said the source.

Speaking to the same publication, Dlala Thukzin cleared the air on his home purchase. He explained that he is still in Durban, and only bought the Joburg house because it was becoming expensive for him to book hotels every time he had a gig or was recording.

Dlala Thukzin stands with flood victims

Dlala Thukzin isn't one to enjoy his wealth on his own. The people of KwaZulu-Natal are close to his heart.

In February this year, Dlala Thukzin stepped up and assisted the victims of the devastating floods that hit KwaZulu-Natal.

Using his influence and reach as a celebrity, Thukzin appealed to industry colleagues and ordinary South Africans to help the flood victims.

He also pledged to support victims of the floods, especially in his neighbourhood in Lamontville, south of Durban.

In Dlala Thukzin’s defence, he’s not the one who did the actual song stealing, according to the aggrieved rising musician Kagiso Moreki.

Moreki said Neo Makate stole an unreleased song of his and gave it to Dlala Thukzin. Kagiso Moreki alleges that his unreleased song Angisababoni was stolen and given to the FOMO producer, who allegedly added his touch and released it as Mpumelelo featuring Amapiano heavyweight, Kabza De Small.
