Nciza demands R5 million

Music executive and politician TK Nciza has reportedly filed a defamation lawsuit against an activist, who made unfounded claims about his involvement in the Loliwe hitmaker's passing.

TS Records co-founder and Zahara had a fallout, but he was adamant that they were on speaking terms before she died.

Zahara passed away on 11 December 2023, due to liver complications. Fans rallied in support of the guitarist, calling her former label out.

After Mgibili made the rumours, Nciza sent a letter demanding an apology from the activist and retracting his statement. After failing to honour this, Nciza has approached the High Court to sue for R5 million, reported the Sunday Times.

Mgibili apparently made these defamatory claims on Podcast And Chill with MacG when he was a guest in 2025.

The publication shared a quote from the lawsuit, which said: “His utterances have the effect of creating a public image that Nciza is a criminal, a murderer to be exact.”

Mzansi reacted to the latest lawsuit on Facebook and X:

@Merc_05 was shook:

"Even beyond her grave, they still want to monetise on her name."

@Hash Tag Koziology Kozat made unfounded claims:

"The Guy wanted the Truth so now there’s defamation instead of explanation, let alone the Bandile having six million Rand."

@Merc_05 replied:

"Ei, these guys are ruthless."

@Blaq_Ston asked:

"He demands it from who?"
