Tbo Touch's Maybach Deal and Failed Concert Saga Divides Mzansi: "There Is Something Fake About Him"

• Business mogul Lesiba Gwangwa accused Tbo Touch of leaving unpaid debts from a Mercedes-Maybach sale and a failed Replenishment concert before relocating to Australia
• Gwangwa claimed he advanced funds for car repairs and invested in the event, leading to legal demands and a soured friendship
• Mzansi users were split on X, with some defending Tbo Touch against "black on black jealousy" while others called him "fake" and questioned his lifestyle

Mzansi's radio icon Tbo Touch has found himself in the eye of a financial storm after business mogul Lesiba Gwangwa accused him of relocating to Australia while leaving behind a trail of unpaid debts.

The fallout, detailed in a Sunday Times report, stems from a Mercedes-Maybach deal and investments in Touch's failed Replenishment concert, turning a once-close friendship into a public spat.

Gwangwa alleged that Tbo Touch borrowed cash amid financial difficulties in 2024, including advancing R160,000 for a R215,000 shortfall on the Maybach sale, plus costs for repairs and a spare key.

Mzansi is divided over the allegations

The story exploded on X after TimesLIVE's post, attracting a plethora of views and mixed reactions.

One user, @Jones6666, commented:

"Twitter blacks are very fast to attack another black man who is fighting life. Black on black jealousy is scary on this app."

Another user, @_uncensored_Po, alleged:

"I said it a long time ago that this guy is fake. He keeps claiming he's a businessman but we don't know what business he's into. He can't survive without radio. That's a fact. Without radio, he's got nothing going on in his life."

@NevondoRi opined:

"His lifestyle doesn’t match his legit earnings. He earns more money through other means that he doesn’t want to disclose."

@MaponyaMelale also shared an opinion:

"There is something fake about Touch."
