Moja Love boss and presenter threatened by hitmen
Moja Love boss, Aubrey Tau, and newly appointed Sizok’thola presenter, Xolani Maphanga are in trouble as their life is being threatened.
According to Sunday World, a Russian lord paid hitmen to kill the media personalities.
During their drug bust in Lanseria, the Sizok’thola team reportedly found a drug lab and equipment used to manufacture the illegal substances.
This they did along with law enforcement who reportedly received a call from their superiors, while combing the property, to immediately leave the premises.
A week later, Tau arrived to a suspicious-looking man outside his home in Johannesburg. However, when the businessman questioned the man, who reportedly had an Asian accent, he pretended to be lost.
After his number plate and pictures were sent to the private investigators, it was found that the man was allegedly linked to the alleged drug lord in Lanseria.
Moja Love spokesperson Nonzwakazi Cekete said they will not be intimidated into canning Sizok’thola.
“Law enforcement agencies are handling the matter. As a channel, we will not operate from a space of fear when drugs are killing our communities. We will not be intimidated, and we will continue exposing those that continue to kill our nation with drugs.”
Bokani Moyo, who is the Head of Channel, said : “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 com- munities,” said Moyo.
