This followed reports that 23 out of 200 of MaMkhize’s bags were authenticated when the South African Revenue Service (SARS) seized and auctioned more of her luxury items.

During an episode of Podcast and Chill that aired on Monday, 20 October 2025, Sol Phenduka called Shaun Stylist and asked him about MaMkhize’s alleged fake designer handbags.

Social media user @ThisIsColbert shared a clip of the phone conversation between Shaun Stylist and the Podcast and Chill crew on X. In the video, Shaun Stylist refused to answer how MaMkhize ended up with fake designer bags and instead focused on promoting his new EP.

He even defended MaMkhize and shared how her situation with SARS had affected other people and not just her family.

“My relationship with MaMkhize is that of a mother and son, it's not about clothes, it's way beyond clothes, it's emotional, it's personal. She has contributed a lot of people, and how she has been affected has affected a lot of families, households. I know more than 23 families who go to sleep or bed without food, and kids who no longer go to school. So, if we’re going to degrade the whole contribution and whatever,” Shaun Stylist said.

When the Podcast and Chill co-hosts pressed how MaMkhize ended up with fake designer handbags, Shaun Stylist said:
