Legal Troubles Continue
Meanwhile, Khawula’s legal woes continue as his case faces yet another delay. Appearing before the Randburg Magistrate’s Court, he was dressed in all black, proudly sporting a “Free Musa” T-shirt.
His case has been postponed to April 9 and 10, further prolonging his stay in custody. His legal team has raised concerns over his confiscated cellphone, arguing that it contains crucial evidence for his defense.
Khawula faces multiple charges, including:
- Hate speech
- Crimen injuria
- Violating the Cyber Crimes Act
These charges stem from statements he made about businessman Ze Nxumalo in October 2024. Nxumalo filed a complaint against the blogger, accusing him of defamation and harassment.
Separate Charges in Fochville Magistrate’s Court
In addition to his legal troubles in Randburg, Khawula is also facing charges in the Fochville Magistrate’s Court for a separate case dating back to 2021.
He has been accused of attempted murder and reckless driving, allegedly linked to a hit-and-run incident. Details of the case remain unclear, but sources close to the matter suggest it could further complicate his legal standing.
For now, he remains in custody as both cases proceed through the courts.
Public Reaction to His Arrest
Khawula has been a controversial figure in South African entertainment for years, known for his bold and often scandalous takes on celebrity news. His legal troubles have sparked divided opinions among the public:
- Supporters believe he is being targeted for exposing the truth about influential figures in the industry.
- Critics argue that his actions have crossed the line, violating privacy and spreading misinformation.
Despite the criticism, Khawula continues to maintain a loyal following, with some fans showing support by purchasing his merchandise.
What’s Next for Musa Khawula?
As his court cases continue, the future remains uncertain for the outspoken blogger. His legal team is fighting for his release, but multiple charges and legal delays could prolong his time behind bars.
- Will his “Free Musa” campaign gain enough traction to fund his defense?
- Will the court rule in his favor, or will he face serious consequences?
One thing is clear—Musa Khawula is not backing down without a fight. Whether he will walk free or face harsher penalties remains to be seen when he returns to court in April.
