Nzuzo Njilo, the spouse of media celebrity Faith Nketsi-Njilo, is supposedly facing an R978 104 fraud allegation.
A month before their grand wedding, Njilo allegedly scammed Johannesburg company owners of close to R1 million.
His father, Themba Njilo, was previously the mayor of Msunduzi Municipality. Themba is a politician who was forced to resign when the ANC removed him from his position.
Nzuzo is also involved in the Themba Njilo Foundation, which is run by his father. His father established Nduduzo Funeral Services in Edendale in 1998. Nzuzo is currently assisting his family in the operation of this firm.

According to City Press, Njilo was charged with fraud by his business partners Blaine Evans and James Stephens. After reportedly failing to honour his end of an R978 104 botched business deal in March, he was arrested.
Evans allegedly said that he and Stephens had reached an agreement to buy copper concentrate from Njilo’s company, NN Chrome Mining, through their company, Lund Industries.
Evans reportedly told the City Press that he sent the money to Njilo’s Absa account for the order of copper but it was never delivered to him.
“I met him through a mutual friend at Bowl’d Restaurant at Masingita Towers. He told me that he was in the trucking business, and so am I, so I thought: ‘Okay, this is cool.’ He also told me that he owned a chrome mine,” he said.
“We were in steady communication and had another meeting at Tang in Sandton, which he attended with Faith. We talked a little and discussed a few business deals,” he continued.
