It seems that South African podcaster Nota Baloyi may have been blacklisted by another country after sharing his experience visiting Zimbabwe.

Taking to his Twitter (X) page on Monday, 20 October 2025, the former music executive alleged that he had been given a deadline to leave after arriving in the country.

"When I went to Zimbabwe, they gave me five days to leave."

Nota, who was married to Zimbabwean-born singer Gugulethu "Berita" Khumalo, claimed that a note had been written on his passport as a sort of reminder for when he was expected to leave the country.

Responding to one of his 150,000 followers who challenged his claims by stating that upon arrival in Zimbabwe, your passport is simply stamped without question, Nota responded:

"That's nonsense; you fill out a form, and they interview you."

Briefly News got insight into the process of entering Zimbabwe from a resident of the country.

"Re-entry into my home country is a straightforward process, involving a routine passport stamp with a specified return date and minimal complications."

They went on to compare the process to that of coming into South Africa, which, they describe, can be complex.

"Entry into South Africa is a more variable experience, contingent upon the type of visa held at the time of entry. If entering without a visa and applying for a three-month visa, the process can be subject to variability, influenced by the discretion and workload of the immigration officer."

Moreover, they reveal that the process may be prolonged by having to clarify a series of questions, which can be expedited by having a valid visa. With a valid visa, one simply needs to go through validation and verification, followed by passport stamping and clearance to proceed.

Africans weigh in on Nota Baloyi's claims

Online users challenged Nota's statement in the comment section. Read their messages below:

valezinhumwe said:

"They don’t give you five days; you tell them the days you want to stay. Stop lying."

DrivekultureS wrote:

"I have never been interviewed or questioned by Zim immigration; they hand you a form, or you do it online. I'm a very frequent traveller to Zim as I have business interests there. They always give me 30 days, not five."

JfnTraders wasn't buying it:

"GOAT, you're such a liar. They ask you how many days, and the maximum you can get is 90. People who don't travel will believe this, that's the sad part."

Svosve_Mukange added:

"You lie too much. If the Zim authorities didn't like your presence, they would have sent you back on the next available flight to SA. They wouldn't have given you even a single day."

theoneminuteguy slammed Nota Baloyi:

"Eish, Nota and lying are best friends. Zim, just like any other SADC country, gives a maximum of 90 days without a visa. This is why they ask what you came to do and the number of days you expect to stay. Just like in South Africa."
