“I bought the truck with the aim of trying to make a living for myself as a young black woman. I signed a contract with Luntu of Maxbu Projects. The agreement was that I lease my truck to him, and his company and he will pay me R90 000 at the beginning of every month for 15 days on a R6000 rate per day.  Maxegwana has not paid me a single cent from June 2020 until now, it’s almost been three years now.

According to Dube, he was scammed by Njilo after a business deal between the two went sour. Dube shared how he was unknowingly taken advantage of by Njilo and became another one of his alleged victims.

“I invested R300 000 in 2020 into Njilo’s company called Njilo Trucks. I thought everything was legit. At first, he delivered what he had promised but I was shocked to learn that he had no trucks in his name, even though he showed me trucks. That was in 2020 and I have not received another cent from Njilo. I have accepted everything, God will deal with him accordingly,” reports the publication
