The timeline is burning this Monday as Kaya FM host Sizwe Dhlomo finds himself in yet another high-voltage Twitter (X) war. What started as a political debate regarding South Africa’s exclusion from the G20 summit has morphed into a personal mud-slinging contest involving forex trader and DJ, DJ Coach. Dhlomo, known for his no-holds-barred approach to trolls, snapped at a user, labelling them an “idiot,” which opened the floodgates for detractors to attack his “trust fund” background.
DJ Coach seized the opportunity to insert himself into the drama, mocking Dhlomo’s perceived arrogance and contrasting it with the “struggle” of ordinary South Africans. The exchange has polarized Black Twitter, with one camp defending Dhlomo’s intellect and right to speak his mind, while the other—led by DJ Coach’s followers—accuses him of being out of touch with reality. The spat highlights the simmering tensions on SA social media regarding class, wealth, and the legitimacy of “old money” versus “new money.”
Dhlomo remains unrepentant, firing back tweets with his trademark wit, refusing to back down. The incident has once again proven that Sizwe Dhlomo is one of the few personalities capable of driving the national conversation simply by picking up his phone. As the day progresses, more influencers are weighing in, turning a petty squabble into a full-blown trend.
