The deputy president of an anti-crime forum in Nkandla, KwaZulu-Natal (KZN), called Isikebhe, has said that they had to deal with former Ukhozi FM presenter Sbu Buthelezi in their own way for his alleged crimes – Daily Sun reports.
This comes after reports that the businessman was captured and his parents’ home vandalised by the vigilante group who forced entry at the weekend.

WHY ISIKEBHE WAS LOOKING FOR SBU BUTHELEZI
Buthelezi is accused of scamming the Msibi family in Nquthu, KZN, of R600 000 through his poultry investment scheme called Abombuso Investment. The agreement was that the investors would sell chickens and eggs for 100 percent returns after three months.
