Controversial blogger Musa Khawula has requested an isiZulu interpreter to help him follow the court proceedings in his Western Cape murder case.
The case, which was postponed on Monday in the Vredenburg Magistrate’s Court, involves allegations that Khawula killed his then-boyfriend, Wandile Khambule, on the West Coast in March 2022.
“The case of Musa Khawula was on the roll at Vredenburg magistrate’s court and has been remanded to October 1 for judicare confirmation and [to secure] isiZulu interpreter,” said National Prosecuting Authority Western Cape spokesperson Eric Ntabazalila.
Khawula is currently serving a sentence for failing to appear in court in Gauteng. Police arrested him at the Vredenburg Magistrate’s Court on July 9 during one of his appearances. “His current sentence finishes on September 6,” said Ntabazalila.
BUT WAIT….WHAT DO WE REALLY KNOW ABOUT THE SAGA?
Musa Khawula is a South African entertainment and gossip blogger known for his controversial and often sensationalist reporting on South African celebrities. His court case gained significant media attention in South Africa due to the nature of the allegations against him.
In 2022, Musa Khawula was charged with murder in connection with the death of Wandile Khambule. The incident reportedly occurred in March 2022, in Vredenburg, Western Cape, where Khawula was accused of fatally stabbing Khambule.
Khawula claimed that the stabbing was in self-defense, as he alleged that Khambule had attacked him first during a confrontation.
Khawula’s court appearances attracted media coverage, and his conduct both in and out of court has been under scrutiny, with various reports highlighting his demeanor and public statements.
The case is notable not just for the charges but also because of Khawula’s public persona as a gossip blogger, which has led to a high level of public interest.
The case is ongoing, with updates about the legal proceedings often making headlines, especially given Khawula’s continued activity on social media where he comments on various celebrities and maintains his public profile despite the serious legal charges against him.
