Mbuso Khoza pleads for payment from TV show boss Duma Ndlovu
Musician and actor Mbuso Khoza has asked TV show creator Duma Ndlovu to pay him for work the muso did on Ndlovu's show Umkhokha: The Curse.
Tagging him in a Facebook post, Khoza pleaded with Khoza: 'Please take my call regarding the money you owe me on Umkhokha from 2021 until the last season. Please take my call, I composed many songs for the show. Please awube wumuntu [please be a human being].'
Khoza composed music for the Mzansi Magic faith-based telenovela, in which he also acted. Ndlovu, famous for the creation of the recently canned Muvhango, was the executive producer on Umkhokha.
Mzansi Magic decided not to continue with Umkhokha, and the popular show last aired in February this year.
After giving him days to respond to the allegations made by Khoza about the payment dispute, Ndlovu did not respond to The Citizen's request for comment.
When contacted by The Citizen, Khoza didn't want to comment on the payment dispute and said he was busy with another project that had just been launched.

Minnie Ntuli makes triumphant return to Gagasi FM: fans celebrate her comeback on ‘The Uprising'
Gagasi FM's Minnie Ntuli is back on the airwaves. The radio presenter returned to her morning slot on "The Uprising" alongside Felix Hlophe after stepping away from her duties in July. The station announced the news in a social media post on Monday morning, revealing that Ntuli has officially resumed her role. During her time away, her seat on the popular breakfast show was taken over by fellow presenter Nkulee Mbatha. Ntuli's absence followed a dramatic clash that was revealed during 'The Real Housewives of Durban' reunion, which caused a stir both on and off screen. In the heated moment, a never-before-seen clip was played, showing fellow castmate Londie London questioning Ntuli about her upbringing. Ntuli felt the comment was a direct insult to her parents. The confrontation quickly escalated, with Ntuli hurling a cushion across the room and accusing London of 'dishonouring' her parents. The tension boiled over when Ntuli poked London in the forehead while shouting insults, leaving her stunned but composed as she labelled Ntuli a 'bully.' At the time, the station publicly acknowledged her actions, saying she had apologised to the production team and her fellow cast members and reassured listeners that they were committed to supporting a process of healing and reconciliation. 'Our focus is on promoting reconciliation. Both Minnie and the other cast members are professionals in the media industry, and it is likely they will work together again in future,' the statement read. With Ntuli now back behind the mic, Gagasi FM appears ready to move forward. The comment section under the station's Facebook post has been filled with positivity, with fans celebrating her comeback. Many said they missed her voice and the energy she brings to mornings, and that they are excited to hear her back on the air alongside Hlophe. Miss Zyander Deleki wrote, 'I love Nkulee so much, but no one does 'The Uprising' better than this duo. Welcome back, Minnie.' While Khanyisile Ntuli said, 'Perfect combo, oh, we missed you a lot, Minnie, welcome back. I love the energy you bring to the show. 🥰' 'Welcome back💕everyone makes mistakes and we need to forgive,' said Sandy Goldwana.

The veteran actress said the adverts are fraudulent and unauthorised. Actress Leleti Khumalo's team has issued a statement warning the public about a scam using her name and image to promote a medical drug. The fake adverts circulating on social media claim the product can quickly and naturally relieve joint pain, among other ailments, and falsely present Khumalo as a client with a fabricated testimony. The team clarified that Khumalo is not involved in any medical endorsements or brand partnerships of this nature. 'It has come to our attention that multiple online pages and advertisements are falsely using the name and image of Leleti Khumalo to promote a medical drug. 'We have received several screenshots and reports regarding this matter, and we wish to state clearly: this is a scam,' the statement read.
