Sweet Guluva sets the record straight on donations for him
Big Brother Mzansi Season 5 winner, Sweet Guluva, has spoken out after facing criticism over a controversial donation drive circulating in his name.
The reality TV star took to social media to clarify the situation and distance himself from fraudulent fundraising efforts that had sparked heated debates online.
In a post on X, Sweet Guluva addressed the backlash, explaining that some individuals were using his name to solicit money from fans without his consent.
While making it clear that he does not need donations, he acknowledged that some supporters have expressed a genuine desire to contribute.
“Bolokhuzan’, it has come to our attention that some individuals have been falsely using my name to solicit donations, misleading fans and supporters. To clarify, we do not need the donations, but we do understand that many of you have expressed a genuine desire to contribute out of your own will. To ensure that anyone who chooses to support me is doing so safely and directly, we are providing the official banking details above. This is purely for those who wish to give, and there is absolutely no obligation to do so. Do you understand me?”
Despite his clarification, many social media users remained skeptical, questioning why someone who had just won R2 million would entertain the idea of donations.
Some accused him of greed, arguing that he should be the one giving back instead.
“This is like saying, ‘We do not want your donations, but we want them.’ Someone will be donating R200 from their NSFAS income. Milk them tsotsi yase KZN,” one person commented.
Another added, “Money is not a sin, but the love of money is a sin. This verse was written because of this greed. You are the one who should be donating, not the other way around.”
A different user bluntly questioned, “So, someone who won R2 million in cash still wants donations? What kind of greed is this?”
Amid the controversy, Sweet Guluva expressed gratitude for the unwavering support he has received from fans and celebrities, including Ngizwe Mchunu, Bravo B, DJ Zinhle, Somizi Mhlongo, and Cici.
He reassured his supporters that his priority is protecting them from scams while allowing those who genuinely wish to contribute to do so through the right channels.
“We appreciate the love and support, and we want to protect our community from any scams. Should you choose to contribute, please use the details above to ensure your support reaches us directly. Thank you for your continued support. uSweet Guluva is’gebengu esingayibambi inkunzi sin’thanda kakhulu.”
