Broadcaster and DJ Sbusiso “Sbu” Leope WeNkosi, alongside former business partner Thembinkosi “TK” Nciza, were named by the suspended Head of Legal and Risk Services at the City of Ekurhuleni, Advocate Kemi Behari, at the Madlanga Commission for benefiting from Ekurhuleni corruption.
Behari is facing claims that he received a massive loyalty bonus of R600,000 to make sure a disciplinary case against a suspended Deputy Police Chief Julius Mkhwanazi didn’t go anywhere.
DJ Sbu has since come forward to clear his name, stating that the allegations are false, misleading, and unsubstantiated.
“These allegations, which attempt to implicate businessman Thembinkosi TK Nciza and me are entirely false, defamatory, and without any factual basis,” he said.
“I categorically deny any involvement in wrongdoing, misconduct, or unethical activity of any kind.”
DJ Sbu said throughout his career in broadcasting, entrepreneurship, and public service, he has conducted himself with integrity, transparency, and respect for the law.
“My work across media, business, and community development has always been guided by principles of accountability and positive social impact,” he said.
“I am deeply concerned that these allegations appear to be part of an attempt to divert attention from ongoing internal matters and personal accountability issues by creating false narratives involving respected public figures.”
He listed the following:
“ I have not participated in any illegal activity. I have not benefited from any improper conduct. I have not influenced any legal or administrative processes unlawfully. I have not colluded with any individual or institution inappropriately.”
He added that any suggestion to the contrary is a fabrication.
“I reserve all my legal rights and remedies in relation to these defamatory statements and will not hesitate to pursue appropriate action should these false claims continue to damage my reputation and personal brand. I remain confident that due process, truth, and transparency will ultimately prevail.”
The Thembisa-born DJ urged the public, media, and stakeholders to exercise caution, verify facts, and avoid amplifying unverified claims that serve only to mislead and harm innocent parties.
“My focus remains on serving my audience, building ethical businesses, creating employment, and contributing meaningfully to the development of our society,” he said.
“I will continue to cooperate fully with any lawful investigation and welcome any process that is grounded in fairness, evidence, and justice.”
