The beef between former Ukhozi FM radio presenter Ngizwe Mchunu and Maskandi star Khuzani Mpungose is far from over. Ngziwe went on Facebook live on December 11 and accused Khuzani of abuse as well as statutory rape, and his alleged victim was a 14-year-old girl.
Ngizwe and Khuzani have been beefing for a very long time now and things are starting to get very bad. Ngizwe held nothing back when he spoke about his feud with Khuzani and revealed that they were once friends but things ended abruptly when he allegedly got involved with a young girl of 14 years.
The self-proclaimed president said the alleged rape incident happened in Khuzani's home in Nkandla, KwaZulu-Natal.
“He raped a 14-year-old girl for five days,” accused Ngizwe. “I told him to hand himself over to the police because I couldn’t continue supporting him. He blatantly refused to do so and so, I started distancing myself from him.
“This issue is widely known at Nkandla. Even his family and government officials are aware of this. When I learnt of this incident, I immediately wanted justice for the girl, and I also availed myself as a state witness.”
Ngizwe said he supported Khuzani from the very beginning of his music career but their friendship collapsed when this alleged incident happened.
“When he joined the music industry, I gave him all my support. I even made sure he won awards. In most cases, he did not deserve those awards.
“I did this because he is talented and I wanted him to be a big Maskandi artist. My strategy worked because he gained popularity, which is what we wanted.”
Ngizwe even alleged that Khuzani also verbally abused his three wives and when they wanted to go to the police station to open a case, he stopped them because he wanted to solve the issue.
Not taking these allegations lightly, Khuzani slapped Ngziwe with legal letters asking him to provide proof or suffer the consequences.
Speaking to Daily Sun, Khuzani confirmed that he did send these letters and said Ngizwe also needs to answer for his beef with Mthandeni, saying he is the mastermind.
He said this beef resulted in bloodshed, “He is the one causing bad blood between us and as a result, people have died,” he told the paper.
A few months back, their fight almost got physical when Ngizwe apparently snubbed Khuzani at an event he was MCing.
Sources told Daily Sun that Ngizwe snubbing Khuzani angered him and so they fought, "The problem started when he decided to snub Khuzani. He was given a list of artists to perform, but he chose to ignore it. When it was Khuzani’s turn to go on stage, he overlooked his name and called his friend, Mthandeni ‘Igcokama elisha’ Manqele. This angered Khuzani.
"They hurled insults at each other in front of their supporters. Khuzani felt undermined mainly because his number one enemy Mthandeni was was being entertained by Ngizwe at his expense."
Another sources apparently told the publication that Nkandla mayor Thami Ntuli had to intervene. “Blood would have been shed if it wasn’t for Ntuli. The mayor told Ngizwe to call the artists according to the list,” the publication quoted another source.
