Musa Khawula has made headlines again for reportedly stabbing his then-boyfriend Wandile Khambule to death.
Khawula, a blogger and gossipmonger, was dropped by his private lawyer after appearing at the Vredenburg Magistrates Court on Thursday, May 30, 2024, as reported by the Daily Sun.
However, Musa had changed lawyers before. When his case began in 2022, a lawyer represented the blogger before switching to a private lawyer.
According to Eric Ntabazalila, the spokesman for the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) in the Western Cape, Khawula will require additional legal representation in court.
He said:
“The matter has been remanded until 9 July 2024 for a new Judicare attorney to come on board. His current attorney has withdrawn.”
In 2022, How South Africa stated that a woman named Sweetness Japhta provided information about rumors that Musa Khawula murdered someone. She said that the crime occurred in Vredenburg when Musa came to her house to see Wandile, the blogger’s romantic interest.
She further stated that as the two went outside to discuss, Khawula chased Khambule with a large knife and allegedly stabbed him to death.
