Sfiso reveals how much Ngizwe Mchunu and Phakelumthakathi were allegedly paid

The South African social media landscape is in a frenzy following explosive allegations made on the Music Pulse Podcast. Sfiso Ndlovu has claimed that anti-illegal immigration figures Ngizwe Mchunu and Nkosikhona 'Phakelumthakathi' Ndabandaba were paid millions by the state.

According to Ndlovu, the alleged payment occurred ahead of the national shutdown on 30 June 2026. He suggests that a meeting with President Cyril Ramaphosa resulted in a payout of over R4 million intended for the march leaders.

A Multi-Million Rand Rift

Ndlovu alleges that the current friction between Mchunu and Phakela is due to a financial dispute. He claims that one of the men received R500,000 more than the other, which led to a fallout after they supposedly signed non-disclosure agreements.

The source of this information is said to be a wealthy politician who was reportedly present during the high-level meeting. Throughout the interview, Ndlovu heavily Caveated his claims by repeatedly using the word "allegedly."

The Incorruptible Activist

During the discussion, co-host Nota Baloyi weighed in on why activist Jacinta Ngobese-Zuma was excluded from the alleged deal. Baloyi described her as "incorruptible," suggesting the President avoided her due to her unwavering stance.

Public reaction to the clip has been polarized. While some viewers believe the claims reveal a deeper political conspiracy, others have dismissed the interview, questioning Ndlovu's sobriety and the reliability of his information.

History of Controversial Outbursts

This is not the first time Sfiso Ndlovu has found himself at the center of a social media storm. He previously drew fire from Prince Kaybee and Busiswa after he criticized South African stars for joining Tyla on stage during her SAMA win.

As the allegations continue to circulate, none of the accused parties have officially responded to the claims of a R4 million payoff. The clip remains a trending topic as Mzansi debates the intersection of activism and political funding.
