Sizokuthola presenter Xolani Khumalo reportedly handed himself to the police after he was requested to do so following the death of an alleged drug dealer, Robert “Kicks” Varrie, shortly after filming the reality show.
The show which aired on Moja Love’s channel 157 went around communities in the quest to bust and expose drug dealers, cleaning communities for the better.
A media statement released by the presenter’s foundation The Xolani Khumalo Foundation reads:
“The South African Police Service have requested that Xolani Khumalo hand himself over in connection with an incident that occurred at one of the last drug busts. Xolani Khumalo and the team operated according to the strictest standards of professionalism when engaged in securing accountability from those that sell drugs and choose to harm communities where they choose to operate. We rely on law enforcement to act with equity and fairness. Accordingly, Xolani has handed himself over to the police.”
Xolani was later reported to have received bailed to the amount of R20 000.
