Zodwa is killing careers by repeatedly failing to appear at events, and there are already many similar rumors trending about her around Durban.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Legal action is now in progress, according to Sibiya, who indicated that Zodwa will be summoned to appear in court. He also mentioned that some financial invoices are being withheld pending a thorough investigation into the situation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sibiya\u2019s main objective is to recover the funds he lost, stating, \u201cAll I want is my refund. That is all.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Zodwa Wabantu has disputed the allegations against her, though she has yet to provide evidence to support her claims of innocence.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"wedod-686076730\" class=\"wedod-after-content wedod-entity-placement\" role=\"region\" aria-label=\"Advertisements\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1458300956780583\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><insclass=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1458300956780583\" data-ad-slot=\"\" data-ad-format=\"auto\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Zodwa Wabantu, a well-known figure in the media and entertainment industry, is currently facing legal issues after reportedly<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":40676,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[13179,98],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-40675","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-breaking-news","category-south-africa"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Zodwa Wabantu Faces Legal Issues After Missing Events<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Zodwa Wabantu faces legal trouble after skipping paid events in KwaZulu Natal.
