South African celebrity gossip blogger, Musa Khawula is alive but serving time behind bars for failing to appear in court.
Social media was buzzing with speculation that Khawula had died due to his silence on his online platforms.
According to reports by Sunday World and TshisaLive, Musa Khawula is alive but serving a 60-day sentence after he was arrested on 09 July.
The sentence is related to the defamation case against the blogger by the wife of ANC Secretary General, Fikile Mbalula and her business partner.
Khawula made damning allegations against Nozuko Mbalula and Michelle Perrow, claiming they had paid a bribe to secure government tenders worth R150 million.
In May, Mbalula shared the court documents which ordered Khawula to pay R1 million in damages to his wife and Perrow.
Khawula was also ordered to pay for the legal costs of the application and withdraw his defamatory statement within 48 hours.
The gossip blogger is also facing murder charges after he allegedly stabbed Wandile Khambule in 2022.
Khawula has made headlines over the years due to his damning celebrity reports and allegations.
In 2023, beauty influencer, Mihlali Ndamase admitted to beating Khawula up due to insensitive comments he made about her mother.
