When an accusation hits too close to home
In a recent turn of events that shook up SA’s entertainment and media circles, DJ Coach has publicly pushed back at controversial claims made by Sizwe Dhlomo, accusing him of being a forex scammer. The rebuttal did not come quietly. DJ Coach responded with an emotional statement: when he sees Sizwe Dhlomo, he says he sees his own son. That personal comparison underscored how much the allegations struck him—not just as a public accusation but as something deeply personal.
The origins of the feud
Sizwe Dhlomo, long known as a radio and television presenter with a prominent voice in South Africa’s media, recently weighed in with serious allegations against DJ Coach. The suspense over the forex saga had already drawn online attention.
DJ Coach, who trades publicly under the name “DJ Coach the Forex Trader,” quickly found himself under scrutiny as Sizwe voiced concerns that DJ Coach’s online investment schemes might be fraudulent.
The backlash was swift. On social media platform X, one post summed up the tension: “When I see him, I see my son.” That comment became emblematic of DJ Coach’s emotional defence. Suddenly, this was no longer just about Forex credibility—it had turned into a clash of reputations.
What South Africans are saying
The reactions from the public have been loud and varied. Some listeners and followers rallied behind DJ Coach, saying that even discussing forex puts you under a microscope—especially if you come from a nontraditional background. Others sided with Sizwe, arguing that as a respected media personality, he has a responsibility to call out what he perceives as shady financial advice.
In the lively forums of local social media groups and X threads, opinions ran from harsh condemnation to staunch support. Some called for regulatory clarity. Others questioned whether the whole matter had become more about personal grievance than financial truths.
A backdrop of trust in financial advice
In South Africa, many ordinary people have turned to alternative income streams in recent years—whether through forex, crypto, or side hustles. That makes the allegations against someone like DJ Coach more loaded than they might appear. If a public figure gets called out, the ripples can affect thousands more who follow, trust, or invest based on what they say.
For many, the drama is less about one man’s reputation and more about what it says for financial literacy and accountability in local media.

Why this moment matters for local media and public trust
This confrontation between DJ Coach and Sizwe Dhlomo is more than tabloid fodder. It reflects deeper issues around transparency, influence, and power in South Africa’s public discourse. When a media veteran questions a rising figure in the financial-advice space, it forces listeners to question not just individuals but the platforms they trust.
This moment could serve as a wake-up call for regulators, media houses, and even everyday South Africans looking for honest income opportunities. If nothing else, it signals that reputations—even those of relative newcomers—can be challenged, defended, and publicly scrutinised under new standards of accountability.
What’s next
For DJ Coach, the spotlight remains on him. Whether he can repair the damage and restore trust depends on what happens next. Will there be concrete proof to support or refute the allegations? Will Sizwe Dhlomo stand by or retract his statements? For now, listeners, fans, and investors are watching—and deciding for themselves who to believe.
