The La Melza hitmaker addressed these rumours head-on, asserting that there is no truth to the claims linking him to the controversial IEC official.
MD News shared on X, formerly Twitter, an Instagram story where the musician puts rumours to bed.

Netizens weighed in, but could not be convinced. @_ThapeloM said: “We still want to know where did you get so much money.”
“What are they hiding??” queried @visse_ss, while seeing is believing for @FootballStage1: “We beleive it wen we see a video.”

@SthabisoBrian had a word of warning: “asset forfeit unit will come after you boy.”

Nomsa was arrested and charged with fraud.
In a report, IOL said that Nomsa had been accused of pocketing R1.2 million meant for underprivileged learners.
She appeared in the Johannesburg Specialised Commercial Crimes Court sitting in Palm Ridge on three charges of fraud, theft, and money laundering.
Nomsa was released on R20 000 bail and will appear in court again on September 4.
Meanwhile, Melzi is reportedly dating South African actress Lethabo Mekoa. She is known for her on-screen role in the local drama series Skeem Saam. The loved-up pair have been spotted on social media streets.
