It’s not clear which incident led to Musa’s arrest, but a few days ago, he wrote some damaging claims against the Deputy Minister of Transport, Mkhuleko Hlengwa.
On 9 July 2024, Musa was arrested while attending a court case in Vredenburg Magistrates Court. He was in court for allegedly stabbing his ex-boyfriend, Wandile Khambule to death in March 2022 and was bust as he had a warrant of arrest pending against him.
At the time, Musa was facing a civil lawsuit from Nozuko Mbalula, the wife of ANC secretary-general Fikile Mbalula. Nozuko and her business partner, Michelle Perrow obtained an interdiction against Musa, stopping him from tweeting about them.
Musa was ordered to delete allegations that Nozuko and Michelle paid bribes to secure an R150 million contract from government. In a court order posted on Fikile’s X account in May, Musa was ordered to remove the defamatory statements from his from his social media accounts in 48 hours. He was also ordered to pay for the legal cost of the application.
He was also sued by Ze Nxumalo and his wife, Tamaryn Green-Nxumalo after he made disparaging remarks against the couple. In his tweets, he alleged that Ze was cheating on his wife with Lebo Mokoena. On 6 November 2024, the court ordered Musa to retract and remove permanently the statements he made on his account.
