“The only people we can call now are TK Nciza and Sbu Leope because they are the ones to whom the evidence is pointing as benefiting from this entire thing,” Behari alleged.

In a statement which was shared on his social media platforms, DJ Sbu said these claims are false and misleading, and should they harm his reputation in any manner, he will pursue legal action.

"These allegations, which attempt to implicate myself and businessman Thembinkosi TK Nciza, are entirely false, defamatory, and without any factual basis. I categorically deny any involvement in wrongdoing, misconduct, or unethical activity of any kind," Sbu said.

Sbu further stated that throughout his career, he has always maintained a positive mindset and respected the law. He further claimed that the allegations were made to divert attention from certain individuals.

"Let me be clear: I have not participated in any illegal activity. I have not benefited from any improper conduct. I have not influenced any legal or administrative processes unlawfully. I have not colluded with any individual or institution inappropriately," he stated.

Below are some of the reactions from online users:

@dramadelinquent advised:

"Just go clear your name at the commission, then."

@KrugerAFRIKA shared:

"The correct response is simple: Present the facts. Follow due process. Let evidence, not personalities, speak. Anything else is not justice — it is theatre. And South Africa can no longer afford theatre."

@Lovergurl390 responded:

"Bhuti Sbu, please submit an affidavit to the Madlanga Commission and clear your name. Also, nowhere in your statement do you deny these allegations made against you. Saying it’s false is not denying. Your statement should read, I have never benefited. Tell us your truth!!"
