Amapiano singer Zee Nxumalo has broken her silence after social media users mistakenly linked her name to allegations made by Witness F at the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry.

On Wednesday, 4 February 2026, Zee Nxumalo topped social media trending charts, particularly on X (Twitter), for something other than a brand deal or a new music release as Witness F testified before the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry.

This was after Witness F, a member of Gauteng organised crime, alleged that he had been pressured to arrest controversial celebrity gossip blogger Musa Khawula on charges related to the Cyber Crimes Act, crime injuria, and hate speech, related to a case reported by businessman Ze Nxumalo in 2024.

Witness F said they were pressured to arrest Khawula after the blogger allegedly insulted African National Congress (ANC) Secretary General, Fikile Mbalula, in one of his posts.

After Witness F’s bombshell allegations, several social media users mistakenly spelt Ze Nxumalo’s name with e, thereby making Zee Nxumalo’s name trend on X.

As her name trended instead of Ze Nxumalo’s, the Mamma hitmaker broke her silence with a statement that sparked a wave of reactions. The post was captioned:

“Ey nkosiyami 😭”

Here are some of the comments:

“Don't you have another name you can use in the meantime? 🤣🤣🤣💀”

“Please stop using the name ‘Zee’ and use your full name until the Madlanga Commission is concluded. 🤣”
