The publication reports that the two have been receiving threats on their lives if they do not cancel the show. Xolani works alongside police officers with the help of investigative journalists to hunt down drug dealers and bring them to book.
As a result, they have decided to hire more security guards for their safety and protection, seeing how they are not willing to stop their work.
Speaking on the matter, Head of Channel Bokani Moyo told Sunday World:
“Station is aware of the threats made to the lives of its CEO and presenter were taking when we agreed to broadcast the show. We are obligated to highlight issues that affect society, as drugs and crime are negatively impacting our communities.”
Also not looking to back down, Xolani told the publication:
“I am not going to be intimidated and stopped from doing my job. It is our responsibility as South Afric- ans to make sure that we root out all crim- inal elements in our society. As Sizok’thola team, we are still going to expose more wrongdoers. We need to rid our country of drugs and crime.”
Taking to social media, viewers relayed their views on the matter, saying criminals are shaking in their boots.

Not every black person is your brother. To destroy Black Americans,the racist enemy used Jamaicans,Haitians & other illegal foreigners to flood BA communities with drugs & add to crime. Nigerians,Zimbabweans & other illegal foreigners do the same to South Africans #sizokthola pic.twitter.com/4JdX3MyT9I
