A wave of emotion swept across social media after Ukhozi FM presenter Zimdola Biyela shared a heartbreaking video of herself crying, detailing how she has allegedly been bullied and sabotaged at her place of work in Durban.
In the emotional clip, which has since gone viral, Biyela explains that she has been facing severe mistreatment from a colleague at the UKM building, where she also sells her personal product range. According to her, the tension began when a woman who works in the same space started selling the exact same products as hers — deliberately targeting her customers.
“I got to the building, and suddenly there was someone selling the same products as me,” Zimdola said tearfully. “This person now stops my customers and tells them to buy from her instead, claiming that she works for me.”
The presenter went on to explain that the situation has caused her not only financial loss but also emotional distress. What’s worse, she claims that when customers buy defective items from the other seller, they come back to blame her, thinking the products were hers.
“Some people buy from her, then the items don’t work or arrive damaged. They come back to shout at me, but I didn’t even sell to them. This is painful. She doesn’t offer refunds, but I’m the one losing my reputation,” she said.
In the video, Biyela could barely hold back her tears as she described how the ongoing harassment has affected her peace of mind and business reputation. Fans flooded the comments section with messages of support, calling on Ukhozi FM management to take action and protect her from workplace bullying.
“This is pure jealousy. Stay strong, sis Zimdola. Your heart is pure, and your light will shine again,” one listener wrote. Another added, “What kind of person sabotages another woman like this? This needs to stop.”
As of now, Ukhozi FM has not issued an official statement regarding the matter. However, the video continues to circulate widely, with many demanding accountability and justice for Zimdola.
Her story has reignited discussions about bullying and competition among colleagues — especially in environments where personal business and professional life overlap.
For many South Africans, Zimdola’s tears reflect the silent struggles faced by countless workers who are bullied or undermined behind closed doors.
