Durban-born Dlala Thukzin buys new home in Jozi
Producer and DJ Dlala Thukzin has bought a house in Joburg. Dlala Thukzin, real name Thuthuka Wandile Zindlovu, is a South African DJ and record producer born and bred in Lamontville, KwaZulu-Natal. He is famous for his versatility of blending amapiano and afro tech with gqom. A video shared with TshisaLIVE on Tuesday showcased Dlala Thukzin announcing he had relocated from the Banana City to Johannesburg., 'Sengisegoli ... sengihlala egoli, salani ne theku lenu, sengihlala egoli istudio sami ... so nje sek indaba yenu ne basi selisegoli uyabo nje (I'm now in Gauteng, I'm now staying Gauteng, my studio ... so v**tsek with your issues and my bus is also here in Gauteng).' he said in the video. According to source close to Iplan hit maker, the decision wasn't easy — the Bluff had always been his home. 'The sound of the ocean, the slow pace of the streets, and the community of Lamontville that raised him were etched into his soul. The travelling and from time to time paying for hotel rooms was draining for him, so the Joburg house is home away from home for him. But the music scene in Johannesburg called to him like a bassline in a packed club — loud, relentless, and impossible to ignore. So, the boy is now in Jozi', said source. Speaking to TshisaLIVE the DJ shed more light on the video 'I don't stay in Johannesburg, I'm still in KZN. I bought a house to use when I'm in Johannesburg because booking hotels can be wasteful. I just want to be able to have a place to use in Johannesburg when booking and recording.'

Producer Kagiso Moreki accuses Dlala Thukzin of stealing his song
Rising artist Kagiso Moreki has accused Neo Makate of stealing his unreleased track Angisababoni and passing it to amapiano hitmaker and producer Dlala Thukzin, who allegedly rebranded it as Mpumelelo featuring Kabza De Small. Kagiso claims the lyrics, melody and overall 'vibe' of the song are unmistakably his. Speaking to TshisaLIVE, he expressed his frustration over the alleged betrayal. 'Neo has a bad reputation — he's the same person who allegedly sold the late Mpura's royalties. Now he's done the same with my song,' he said. 'I recorded Angisababoni last year in October. I initially approached him to get feedback on my work and potentially have the track pitched to MFR Souls. To my shock, I later heard it on Dlala Thukzin's latest album.' Kagiso said he suspects the track was handed over during Dlala Thukzin's Studio Camp 031 sessions, after seeing pictures of Neo present at the event. He also revealed that Neo had contacted him in October, enquiring about his plans for Angisababoni and another track titled Mnyamane. 'I'm disappointed in him. He took my hard work for granted. I'll be pursuing legal action,' Moreki said.
