Social media detectives never rest and are always trying to uncover skeletons and the hidden gems in celeb’s closets. This time DJ Shimza is the latest victim of the social media FBI, however, the latest scandal is worth digging deep into as it involves corruption accusations.
Shimza has always kept his love life away from social media and after he broke up with media personality K Naomi it was not long people started speculating that he’s dating Athi Geleba who works as Head of Digital Communications in the Presidency of the Republic of South Africa.
Both Athi and the DJ didn’t come forward to debunk the rumours and images of the two being spotted at the place at the same time were also circulated on social media. Now that’s not a problem, he has the right to date anyone of his choice, right?
The problem lies here: So Today, Minister Mmamoloko Kubayi-Ngubane will be having a ministerial cookoff with Somizi Mhlongo. According to them, the event will resuscitate Mzansi’s tourism industry by attracting people to the area.
And which place are we talking about? It turns out that Tembisa will be the point of tourists attraction and the event will be taking place at Shimza’s restaurant ‘The Hang Awt’. You surprised right? The place has been up and running for such a short time. Well, SAns were very quick to point out their disapproval and accused the DJ of corruption.
This event is the last pre-budget event we are hosting since last week. Do you have feedback on other events that we held so that we can use this as part of the debriefing session with the team. If you didn’t notice other events also do indicate 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

It was only fair for the public to question if the DJ got tender legitimately or used his political connections or even better had a little pillow talk with his rumoured girlfriend and touched all the right places just to secure the bag.
Let’s look at what the tweeps had to say.
Athi Geleba is using her connections to plug her boyfriend Shimza. This government is full of rotten people even the youth that are in positions are starting nepotism at a very early age. Imagine when they become ministers.?😩

According to Nota (Kwesta's former manager), Shimza and Ramaphosa's spokesperson are dating and Shimza has been using his relationship to benefit from government tenders.

Shimza doesn’t even have one hit song.Since when is the shit hole Tembisa a tourist attraction? When I visit my family there I have to risk bursting my tires in potholes. The crime in Tembisa is a tourist deterrent. Shimza should’ve thought of this before calling me a “MOESKONT!”
