Zola7 Addresses Rumors Surrounding MamMkhize’s R1 Million Donation
South African musician Bonginkosi ‘Zola7’ Dlamini, a beloved figure in the 90s pop culture, has responded to recent rumors suggesting that businesswoman and reality TV star Shauwn “MamMkhize” Mkhize gave him a R1 million donation. The rumors gained momentum following an article in *City Press*, which claimed that MamMkhize had pledged the substantial sum to help Zola7 after concerns were raised about his health.
Rumors Surrounding the Donation
The rumors started after it was widely speculated that Zola7 was in need of financial help due to health issues. This prompted his fans and well-wishers to come forward and offer their support. It was later reported that Zola7 had been diagnosed with epilepsy and was managing the condition with medication. While initially denying that he needed financial assistance, the musician later accepted the generosity of his fans, listing his manager’s bank account details for donations.
During this time, MamMkhize publicly expressed her desire to help Zola7, even meeting him in person. She shared photos and videos from their meeting on social media, showing her support and care for the artist. However, it was not long before Zola7 took to social media himself to clear up any misunderstandings.

He asked his supporters to direct their donations to his manager, whose bank account was listed as the official account for contributions.
Zola7 also expressed his gratitude to MamMkhize for her kind intentions, stating, “She just wanted to cook for me and for me to meet her son. By the way, she is doing something amazing. It is not my part, it is not my position to say what that is.”
