Zodwa Wabantu has been trending on social media for days following her statement calling her ex-boyfriend, Vusi a fraudster.
However, there might actually be another part of the story we do not know.
Recall, Zodwa posted a video claiming her former bae used her name and contacts presenting himself as her lover to purchase his Audi R8 in which they had broken up at that particular time.
“You slept at my house for a year… for you to go to Audi and use my name because you knew during the Durban July I was going to be driven by Audi,” she said in the video.
Now, the company Vusi went to purchase a car has decided to open up.
Audi Centre Durban said that all that happened was staged as they are trying to clear their name form the issue.
They said: “whole thing was staged, strange and misleading”.
The sales manager Audi Centre, Phana Mzimela gave his own story of what really happened when Vusi “bought” the car in July.
“Vusi is not our client. He never bought the car, he never signed any documents with us. Everything including the pictures and videos that he took was staged. He did this with the help of our sales representative. They even used delivery pictures to make the whole thing legit. Vusi later posted these on his Instagram account. We don’t know how did he do all of this. Our stance on this matter is that Vusi never bought the Audi R8 and we have no contract with him. We are following internal processes to deal with the salesman,” Phana stated.
According to a source, he stated that Audi called Zodwa after seeing the video she made so as to resolve the issue and get her to post a video at the dealership “and pretend as if everything is fine”.
Zodwa did not accept such offer which she refused to be part of the stunt going on with Vusi from the start.
Zodwa confirmed that a meeting took place between her and Audi regarding the Vusi matter but did not disclose details.
Vusi though says he has a “working relationship with Audi” this after he submitted a proposal to them asking for them to assist his digital company to do a campaign, in which they agreed.
“But Audi also requested me to assist them to sell that Audi R8. They said it had been with them for two years. With the assistance of the salesman, we staged the photoshoot and the car was eventually sold,” Vusi said.
