In the ever-entertaining world of South African celebrity spats, the latest episode features media personality Sizwe Dhlomo taking a sharp jab at entrepreneur and motivational speaker Vusi Thembekwayo. The drama unfolded after a video went viral in which Vusi was asked about his biggest challenge as a wealthy black man. His candid reply? “Finding reliable watch repairers.”
What might have been a lighthearted comment quickly became fodder for Sizwe Dhlomo’s relentless shade. Taking to his verified X (formerly Twitter) account on July 2, 2025, Dhlomo didn’t hold back, mocking Vusi for supposedly exposing that he isn’t truly rich. His caption read:
“Yo @VusiThembekwayo, you should have just told them the truth, that you’re not rich. Look now, exposed yourself again. But, ke, we already know about you & watches.”
The barb refers to a long-standing feud between the two, with Dhlomo frequently questioning the authenticity of Thembekwayo’s wealth and lifestyle. This latest viral moment added fuel to the fire, sparking a fresh wave of online debate. Some netizens sided with Dhlomo’s playful yet cutting critique, while others accused him of being petty and obsessed with discrediting Vusi.
Adding to the discussion, Dhlomo further explained that if a watch is authentic, one can simply take it back to the manufacturer for repairs, implying that Vusi’s “problem” was more of a humblebrag than a genuine wealthy-person dilemma.
This spat is just the latest chapter in a feud that dates back several years, rooted in accusations of fact-stealing and questions about credibility. Vusi Thembekwayo himself has publicly expressed disdain for Dhlomo, citing a lack of respect and calling their beef personal and irreconcilable.
In the world of South African entertainment and business, where image and reputation are everything, this viral exchange between Sizwe Dhlomo and Vusi Thembekwayo highlights how quickly a simple comment can spiral into a full-blown public showdown. Whether this will lead to any resolution remains to be seen, but for now, the internet is loving the drama.
Stay tuned as this saga unfolds — in South Africa’s celebrity circles, the next viral moment is never far away.
