DJ Bongz Accused of Failing to Pay Workers Their Salaries: “He’s Not Explaining Anything to Anyone”

• South African DJ and club owner, DJ Bongz, recently found himself under fire after his employees spoke out
• The Durban-based star was accused of failing to pay his club employees their salaries for months
• Many netizens flooded the comment section with their reactions to the accusation against DJ Bongz

Bathong, we've just started a new year, and already the popular DJ and club owner, DJ Bongz, found himself under fire after he was called out by his employees who went to the media to address their problems and frustrations they faced at the hands of the star.

In November 2024, the popular musician from Durban, KwaZulu-Natal, bought a glitzy club, eThekwini, where his employees complained about him not paying their salaries over the past three weeks and when they demanded answers, he never said anything.

According to the report shared by the online news and gossip page, MDNews, stated that two waiters came forward to share what they went through during their time working for the DJ, even though he was able to buy his mom a house in November last year.

One said:

"Things are bad, really bad, my brother. For the past three weeks, we have been fighting over the salaries of the waiters, and he's not explaining anything to anyone except telling us the same thing that he will sort it out. When you ask for a timeline, there is no timeline. I decided to quit being a waiter because it was draining me emotionally and financially."

The other mentioned:

"I realised that things were bad when two managers were hired in a space of three weeks. The last manager decided to compensate himself with the company's cellphone, which had all the social media accounts of Views. They had to create new accounts because the manager left with the company's cellphone after they failed to pay him his salary."

"Big spender restaurants and pubs only work if you are laundering money. They all fold after about 3 years for the same reason."

@alincume_za wrote:

"This is actually serious and damaging. When workers are not paid, it affects their families, their dignity and their ability to survive. Silence and empty promises only make things worse. If these allegations are true, accountability is needed, clear communication must happen, and outstanding salaries must be paid. People can’t work on hope alone. Those waiters must refer a dispute to the CCMA or the bargaining council."

@BotziMarcus commented:

"He also has to support and spoil his wife's ex-boyfriend's mother, so bear with him in these difficult times of lacking common sense and dignity."
