• Creators Assembly organisers also removed Limpopo Boy from their lineup on 10 August 2026 amid the fallout

Filmmaker and presenter Zola Hashatsi has broken ranks with critics piling onto Limpopo Boy, instead offering the rising star a public word of guidance after a leaked video placed the musician at the centre of a cheating scandal involving a married woman.

The video, which circulated online and exposed Limpopo Boy's alleged affair with Matshidiso Matilda, triggered swift consequences. On 10 August 2026, the Creators Assembly organisers issued an official statement confirming his removal from their event lineup.

"You've built a beautiful thriving career boi @limpopo_boy not just locally but internationally."

Hashatsi also recalled championing the artist early in his career, noting he made sure to book him on The Morning Show during his time as a producer there. While acknowledging the pain of watching brands walk away, he did not shy away from calling the situation a lesson, urging the young artist to "check his WhatsApp," take time off, and "learn and unlearn."

"Life teaches us various lessons. We have fumbled in our youth. It's allowed. Get the takeaways. Njenge Grootman, I shall guide you, Ntwana. Strength but just lay low," Hashatsi wrote.

Adding a layer of subtext that did not go unnoticed, the post was set to the song Manyonyoba by Brothers of Peace, a track about a wife's infidelity. Not everyone was sure whether the post was a sincere show of support or a subtle dig.
