EVENTS organiser and Gesh Lounge and Entertainment owner Bhekani Ndlovu is hopping mad!
Bhekani has accused Mhlo Gumede, singer Kelly Khumalo’s brother-in-law, of using the Khumalo siblings to swindle people.

He said a colleague of his informed him Mhlo’s wife, Zandi, would be attending a wedding in Empangeni, KZN, and suggested he invite her to perform at the venue as people loved her.
“I agreed and paid a small amount and Zandi did come to perform.”
A week later, Mhlo allegedly approached Bhekani to tell him he had already negotiated with Kelly and Vusi Nova to perform at the venue for R17 000.
“I knew he was Kelly’s brother-in-law and that he used to be with Mabala Noise, and that he’d worked with a lot of big artists such as Vusi Nova.
“He gave me Zandi’s banking details. I never queried this because my understanding was that they were working as a team. I then started making payments into Zandi’s bank account.
“I realised something was wrong when Mhlo told me not to post anything about the event.
“I then asked someone to check with Kelly if she was aware of this event. To my surprise, Kelly had no knowledge of it,” he said.

Asked for a comment, Mhlo said: “I can only discuss this if he can prove he deposited R15 000 into the account.”
Vusi Nova said he had no knowledge of this. “This is degrading my name, I can’t believe someone used my name for his benefit.”
Zandi couldn’t be reached for a comment.
