DJ Shimza responds to age comparison with Fikile Mbalula
Shimza has refuted a trending comparison drawn between him and politician Fikile Mbalula.
The incident sparked when the controversial figure Chris Excel shared on X that there was merely a two-year age gap between the two, asserting that Mbalula appeared significantly older.
“The fact that the age gap between Mbalula and Shimza is only 2 years is insane,” the tweet read.
Shimza, whose full name is Ashley Raphala, promptly responded, emphasizing that the claims regarding his age were erroneous.
“Can someone please help me change my age on Google. I’m not 41 and nothing close to what this thing called Chris says I am,” he wrote in his reply.

<pThe DJ proceeded to clarify his true age, asserting he is 36 years old, contrary to the 41 years stated on Google.
His witty reply had many users on X amused, with some teasing the incorrect information, while others congratulated him for correcting the misleading narrative.
