ActionSA Ekurhuleni mayoral candidate Xolani Khumalo
ActionSA Ekurhuleni mayoral candidate Xolani Khumalo and his co-accused have handed themselves at the Katlehong police station in Ekurhuleni after a self-confessed drug dealer laid a charge of assault.
Khumalo’s party believes this development comes amid escalating tensions in Ekurhuleni, where his push for accountability has rattled drug syndicates.
They claim his efforts have uncovered links between drug dealers and local businesses, leading to arrests and raids that disrupted operations worth millions through his popular TV show Sizok’thola.
Earlier this year, charges of murder, robbery, and malicious damage to property related to the show were provisionally withdrawn against him.

A calm and composed Khumalo says he is not intimidated and will fight for the city of Ekurhuleni until his last breath.
“Unfortunately this is the country we live in and we are ruled by criminals out law enforcement is influenced by criminals but I will not stop the only way to stop me is for them to kill me but what I know is that this is my home and this is my country I will fight till the end. They just bought attention to themselves Ekurhuleni is very close to my heart and here in Katlehong.”
