Controversial celebrity and entertainment blogger Musa Khawula has come under fire for allegedly stabbing and killing Wandile Khambule in March this year. Khambule’s partner, Sweetness Jaftha, gave her version of the incident, claiming the blogger killed Khambula because he was not interested in pursuing a romantic relationship.
Addressing the shock allegations via Twitter Spaces, Khawula clapped back, saying Khambula threw an empty glass bottle at him, which he dodged. The blogger also claimed that he stabbed Khambule in self-defence.

MUSA KHAWULA ACCUSED OF KILLING WANDILE KHAMBULE
The allegations that Khawula reportedly killed Wandile Khambule first surfaced on Twitter in April.
Sweetness Jaftha told Sunday World that Khawula arrived at her Vredenburg home in the Western Cape on 4 March and demanded to see Khambula.
Moments later, Khawula and Khambula exited the house to speak and Jaftha claims she heard screaming outside.
“When I checked to see what was happening outside, I saw Khawula running after Khambule with a big knife [and] stabbing him, he fell in front of my brother’s bakkie. I then asked one of my friends to go [and] try to stop what was happening. He stabbed him in his chest and back,” claimed Jaftha.
She further alleged that another friend wrestled Khawula to get the knife out of his hand.
