“There is a new coming, I wont talk much about it. People will see. It will be Sizok’thola multiplied because what I didn’t have before, I have it now. I am able to spread my wings. I am able to engage with government to say lets work and they are willing to work with me. Because it was difficult then, when you come as media they would tell you about protocols. But now I come as a foundation to say I can assist you guys lets work together. I don’t want your money I don’t want anything. I just want us to work together so that we can make our place a better place,” said Khumalo.

MURDER CASE
In September Khumalo handed himself over to the Katlehong North Police Station where he was charged with murder and later granted R20 000 bail.
The charges relate to the death of a drug dealer named Robert “Kicks” Varrie who had been the subject of a drug bust at his Katlehong home on 19 July, which was attended by the Sizok’thola crew.
During court proceedings in November, State prosecutor Pheelo Vilakazi told the court that Khumalo faces additional charges of robbery with aggravating circumstances and malicious damage to property.

MOJA LOVE DROPS KHUMALO
Two months after his arrest, Moja Love announced that it had terminated its relationship with Khumalo.
The DStv channel said in a statement that it had raising concerns and questioned him “about his knowledge and involvement in the unlawful incidents that led to the possible contamination of crime scenes, failed prosecutions of known drug lords and unfortunate tragedies that followed the filming of certain episodes.”

The statement further read: “The channel also demanded answers regarding the identities of the beneficiaries of his foundation – the Xolani Khumalo Foundation, which he launched off the back of Sizok’thola’s success despite the blatant conflict of interest it created between him and the show.”
Hitting back, Khumalo said he found out through the media that Moja Love had dumped him.
“Xolani Khumalo and the foundation was under the impression that negotiations were ongoing with both the company and the channel. Regrettably, Xolani Khumalo had been unable to contact the company’s representatives for any comments or further discussions.”
