Controversial blogger Musa Khawula has once again set the internet ablaze, this time by offering a cryptic explanation for the sudden deletion of his explosive allegations against Julius Malema.
The gossipmonger raised unverified claims on X (formerly Twitter) on 25 January 2026, claiming that the EFF leader was involved in a steamy affair with a woman named Ontha More, whom he was spoiling rotten.
According to Khawula, Malema is funding an apartment for Ontha in a Hyde Park Estate and gifted her a R5 million white Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon. This, despite the politician's 12-year marriage to his wife, Mantwa Matlala.
The post also linked the alleged mistress to controversial businessman Edwin Sodi, who has been closely associated with some of the country's top it-girls, including Kefilwe Mabote and long-term girlfriend Karen Zulu.

While the claims remain unsubstantiated, what truly shocked netizens was Musa's sudden deletion of his post hours later. The blogger later returned to the timeline to offer a cryptic message.
"I took the money, thanks."
He signed off with a cheeky "Xo xo, Gossip Girl," adopted from the narrator of the Gossip Girl franchise, cementing his role as South Africa’s premier gossip authority.

His cryptic statement, without relating it to any particular subject, suggested that he was offered money to do something. However, it didn't take long for social media to put two and two together, believing that Malema may have bribed Musa to take down his tweet.
This wouldn't be the first time the gossipmonger was requested to retract his statements or landed in serious trouble because of them.
In 2025, Khawula was arrested following a series of defamatory statements made about businessman Ze Nxumalo (not to be confused with singer Zee Nxumalo), whom he claimed had been cheating on his wife, former Miss South Africa, Tamaryn Green.
His latest scandal sparked a massive wave of speculation as the online community questioned the blogger's sudden move to take down his post.
