Popular TV host Moshe Ndiki walked off with a chunk of dreadlocks belonging to infamous gossip blogger, Musa Khawula, after a brawl that was caught on camera.
Watch: Moshe Ndiki gets into fisticuffs with Musa Khawula
Social media has been abuzz since the fiery events that unfolded at White Lounge in Sunninghill, Johannesburg, on Sunday evening.
According to the alleged target of Ndiki’s wrath, infamous celebrity gossip blogger Musa Khawula, he and his friends were enjoying a fine night out when, seemingly out of nowhere, he was attacked by the Gomora actor.
“This behavior is unacceptable and criminal and I am wondering if Gomora supports this kind of behavior. Moshe Ndiki is an influencer and his behavior can never be tolerated and to have actors who are highly violent and influence young people to be just as violent,” Khawula wrote in a petition he launched in a bid to get Ndiki booted from the show.
While video footage of the alleged assault has yet to surface, onlookers captured a distressed Khawula being ushered to safety moments after he was allegedly manhandled by Ndiki.
What prompted the alleged assaulted?
Speculation is rife on the origins of the feud between Ndiki and Khawula. The latter has garnered notoriety on social media for spreading misinformation about the private lives of SA celebrities.
Based on our surface-level research, it seems on Sunday, hours before the clash at White Lounge, Khawula had posted a tweet about Ndiki’s newly adopted puppy, which also included gossip about his previous relationship with Phelo Bala.
Khawula, in his tweet, also claimed Ndiki lives in a rental apartment.
The Gomora actor was quick to clap back, posting receipts of his title deed.
Hours after this tweet was posted, Ndiki showed up at the White Lounge event and allegedly delivered a hail of fisticuffs on Khawula.
The notorious celebrity blogger claims he’s opened a case of assault against Ndiki.
“A criminal case has been opened against Moshe Ndiki and the case number will be provide if required,” he wrote.
Outside of his social media clout as a celebrity gossip leaker, Khawula is at the centre of a murder investigation. It’s believed he may have played a part in the death of his former lover, Wandile Khambule.
