FORMER kwaito star Zola 7 has warned people not to get scammed.
He said following him sharing his banking details last week, other people have been sharing the wrong details, so the money goes to them instead.
In a video he shared on social media, he said he doesn’t want people to get scammed.
“There’s a problem. I don’t want people to scam you. I’m being told that there are people who are trying to get you guys who are contributors to contribute to them instead of me. There are other accounts belonging to other people that claim to be me,” he said.
He then gave out the correct details and also urged those who want to donate to do so.
“If you wish to do anything, I don’t care even if it’s R10. If it comes from the heart, this is the number you use. This is my manager, Siki Kunene, the owner of Untamed Communications. This is the only person you speak to. Even for bookings or you want me to do some public appearances, which I do a lot,” he said.
In the last week, Zola was visited by Gauteng Finance and e-Governance MEC Nomantu Nkomo-Ralehoko and reality TV star and businesswoman Shauwn “Mamkhize” Mkhize. He also thanked them in the video.
Siki told Daily Sun that they realised there were scammers pretending to be Zola on Monday morning.
“Yesterday in the morning, someone came to the house and woke us up to give us the proof of payment. But we realised that they paid the money into a wrong account,” she said.
“For now, that’s the only person we are aware of that has been scammed. I also came across a group on social media where there were wrong banking details,” she said.
Siki said people should rather call her so that they wouldn’t be scammed.
“People should rather call or WhatsApp me. That’s why Bonginkosi gave out the number so people have direct contact with me and know that they are sending to the right person. Otherwise, they can go to his social media pages and they will see the correct details,” said Siki.
