Controversial celebrity gossip monger Musa Khawula sparked reactions after explaining his week-long social media break. Khawula is usually active on social media, particularly on X (Twitter), where he does not go more than a day without sharing updates or gossip on prominent and ordinary South Africans.

Khawula went a week without posting on his official X account, with his last post being shared on 15 May 2026. The social media break came days after the Johannesburg High Court gave him 30 days to apologise to Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader Julius Malema or spend 30 days behind bars.
