“My conversation with the scammer started last night,” he said.
“The thing is that scammers always are there to solicit money from people by using my name or some name to get ahead.”
“I know Mbalula and we greet each other. I doubt he'll come to me for other people's numbers. I had to let my fans know there's a scammer on the loose.”

According to a source close to the Iplan hitmaker, he was scheduled to perform in Cape Town last week and wanted to secure a Mercedes-Benz V250 for the horse racing event at Kenilworth.
He posted on his WhatsApp: “Scam sase Cape Town, You pay for a V Class and he gives you something else and you won't get your money back.”
