In a recent episode, South African podcaster Penuel Mlotshwa tackled the contentious feud between radio host Sizwe Dhlomo and renowned speaker Vusi Thembekwayo, exploring the motivations and ramifications of their ongoing conflict.
Penuel shares that Sizwe Dhlomo constantly bashes Thembekwayo, calling him a charlatan and a liar, among other things.
In his video, Penuel, who recently mesmerised Mzansi with his speech at the DJ Warras memorial service, pointed out what he insinuated was the hypocrisy of Sizwe Dhlomo's actions, stating:
"You don't have a problem with Johan Rupert selling Mont Blanc at an extreme price compared to how much it costs him to produce it. You are not calling him a scam artist."

Addressing Sizwe Dhlomo's apparent gripe with how much Vusi Thembekwayo charges for his talks, Penuel used Sizwe Dhlomo's close friend, comedian Trevor Noah, as an example.
He said:
"Vusi is like a Trevor Noah, except it's not standup comedy. It's business education and motivation."
Penuel, who expressed delight with Black Coffee pursuing a court appeal, told viewers how this beef seemingly got squashed, stating:
"Vusi stopped engaging Sizwe because he realised that Sizwe got off on the back-and-forth. And the minions [online trolls] would get off on the back-and-forth as well."
He continued:
"Years later, everytime something come up about Vusi, Sizwe was still there."
He then asked a question:
"Are you obsessed with the guy?"
He signed off by saying that, eventually, people would joke that they must be secretly fighting over a woman.
