Zola 7 addresses Mzansi – “MaMkhize didn’t do anything”

South African music icon Zola 7 has finally broken his silence, setting the record straight about ongoing rumours involving businesswoman and reality TV star Shauwn “MaMkhize” Mkhize.

In a surprising turn, Zola 7 publicly addressed Mzansi and clarified the nature of his relationship with MaMkhize, stating bluntly: “MaMkhize didn’t do anything.”

For months, speculation has swirled online about MaMkhize’s involvement in helping Zola 7 during a difficult period in his life.

From alleged financial support to rumours of a “secret beef” between the two, fans have been trying to piece together a narrative — one that Zola 7 now says is far from the truth.

Zola 7, whose real name is Bonginkosi Dlamini, has been open about his health battles and financial struggles in recent years.

When fans rallied behind him in 2022, MaMkhize was one of the public figures linked to offering help.

But what started as support quickly turned into gossip, with false claims spreading on social media that something had gone wrong behind the scenes.

This statement from Zola now puts those rumours to rest — and shifts the focus back to what truly matters: his recovery, music, and legacy.

Fans across Twitter and Facebook praised Zola 7 for his honesty, with many thanking him for standing up for the truth.

The hashtag #Zola7Speaks started trending shortly after the video dropped, as Mzansi reflected on how quickly public perception can be influenced by social media gossip.

As of now, MaMkhize has not responded publicly to Zola’s statement — but she hasn’t needed to.

Known for her focus and composure, she’s continued to post her usual business and family updates, unbothered by the noise.

Fans now see Zola’s public statement as a sign of mutual respect between two powerful figures in South African culture.
