Loyiso Bala has responded to allegations labelled against TKZee by Gwyza at King David Podcast
Loyiso says he has taken a few days to let his emotions settle after the many untruths Gwyza shared on the King David podcast. What he says on this response doesn't come from bitterness. It comes from someone who refuses to stay silent while TKZee, including the late Tokollo, is unfairly disrespected. Tokollo, in his view the was the greatest lyricist this country has produced, never needed Gwyza's help to write a single song. He further said a 4 hour podcast can't be answered in one post, so we must consider this a sample. This is what he said:
"1. Gwyza claims Kabelo begged him to take drugs. I wasn't there, so I won't confirm or deny it. What I do know is this: years after Kabelo got clean, he arranged for Gwyza to attend a drug and alcohol rehabilitation programme at Hands of Compassion, and helped him get part-time work at Rhema. He stood by him even when he relapsed, and until recently Gwyza was attending Kabelo's home cell. So why would you try to tear down the one person who has truly cared for you? I can't help but wonder whether it has something to do with Kabelo's album coming out.
2. If Gwyza wrote those TKZee songs, why does the writing on his own albums after TKZee Family not come anywhere near that standard? My question still stands: in the songs you say you wrote for TKZee, which part did you write?
3. Did you even write your own verses on the TKZee Family album? We all remember that your verse on Fiasco took three hours to record, while the rest of us were done in 20 minutes at most. Mr and Mrs Fake took you the whole day. I believe Kabelo wrote most of your verses, and we had to wait patiently while you recorded your verses and the song line by line.
4. I have the receipts. Every one of us received an equal share of the publishing on the TKZee Family album, 14% each, even on songs we didn't write. That is the generosity of TKZee. Zwai, the man you call the most evil, created the music and could have taken the biggest share up to 50%. Instead, he took the same share as everyone else. Is that what evil looks like to you?
5. I watched your solo set at the Radio 2000 Family Day 2025, made up mostly of TKZee songs. If we are family, why didn't you call any of us up on stage, or book us on the same bill?
6. Finally, didn't you call me a few months ago asking me to join you and Sbu Malawyer in a group called Members of TKZee Family? I said no, because I could see the heart behind it. It was built to go against the very people who opened the door to this industry for us.
Gwyza, until you are ready to speak with honour, please don’t mention my name again in your follow up interviews.
Our brothers we have lost would be deeply disappointed. I'm almost certain they would remind you of the very words that came out of your mouth on "Sikelela": "Together we stand, divided we fall." "

Did you know Haile Selassie’s father was a powerful Ethiopian leader? 🇪🇹
Ras Makonnen Wolde Mikael, the father of Emperor Haile Selassie I, was one of Ethiopia’s most prominent nobles. He served as governor of Harar and was a trusted military and political figure during the reign of Emperor Menelik II.
His son, born Lij Tafari Makonnen in 1892, would later become Emperor Haile Selassie I, one of the most famous African leaders of the 20th century.
History is full of powerful African legacies. 👑🌍

In South Africa, several South Africans protested the rising rape and killing of women in the country. Women should not have to fear walking home, jogging alone, going to work or simply existing in public spaces. Yet today South Africans are mourning women whose lives were stolen while asking for nothing more than safety.
This is not "just how things are." It is a crisis, and women need protection, accountability, justice and real action—not only condolences after another woman is gone.

A South African plant called Hoodia had been used by the San people for thousands of years to suppress hunger on long hunts. In 1995, a South African research council patented its active compound. That patent got sold to a UK company, which sold worldwide marketing rights to Pfizer, for $32 million, to build diet pills. The San people, who actually held that knowledge for generations, weren’t the ones who got rich off it.
That’s the pattern. Western researchers come here, sit with our traditional healers, study the herbs and roots they’ve used for generations, then go back home and turn it into patents, tablets, and multi-million dollar products. Meanwhile, our own medical students rarely walk into a traditional healer’s compound to learn anything. They graduate knowing Western pharmacology inside and out, and know almost nothing about the herbal knowledge sitting in their own communities.
It’s not just medicine. We have snake doctors across this continent with real, tested skill in treating venom, but no young person is apprenticing under them to refine and modernize that knowledge. We have market women and local traders who understand our economies better than any imported theory ever will, but our economics students aren’t studying how they actually operate. We have blacksmiths, builders, herbalists, all holding knowledge built over centuries, and almost nobody coming back to learn from them, document it, or improve on it.
Look at a place like Iran: they took their own building traditions and refined them over centuries into something the world now studies. We keep doing the opposite, abandoning what’s ours the moment something foreign shows up, without ever asking if what we already had was worth keeping.
Nobody made us believe our own knowledge was worth less. We just stopped defending it.
The South African Council of Churches (SACC) headquarters, Khotso House, based in Johannesburg, was bombed for harbouring anti-apartheid groups on this day in 1988. It was bombed a year after a blast at Congress of South African Trade Union (COSATU) House. The Khotso House blast, which resulted in nineteen people injured, was executed by police led by Colonel Eugene de Kock. During the 1996 Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) hearings, police chief Johan Van der Merwe who was applying amnesty for his acts revealed that he received injunction from Minister of Law and Order Adriaan Vlok to bomb the house. Vlok, who appeared before the TRC two years later, testified that he had received orders from the state president P.W. Botha. Both Vlok and Van der Merwe were granted amnesty by the TRC. F.W De Klerk admitted to the TRC that the government was responsible for the bombing of the Khotso House. Source: SAHO. Photo Credit: Louise Gubb/Corbis
This is the idiot who allied with France to attempt a coup in Niger. He’s the coup leader and supposed head of state if it succeeded. A puppet who took money from France and its allies to sell out Niger’s uranium at cheap prices to the West. An idiotic element. His name is Ben Ide.
The Arab Invasion of Egypt 🇪🇬 (639 – 642 AD)
After centuries under the mighty Pharaohs, Persians, and Romans, Egypt faced a new turning point in the 7th century — the Arab invasion led by Amr ibn al-As.
In 639 AD, Arab forces entered Egypt, taking advantage of the weakened Byzantine rule. By 642 AD, Alexandria, the jewel of the Nile, had fallen.
This invasion did not only change rulers — it transformed Egypt’s language, religion, and culture.
The once-dominant Coptic language gradually gave way to Arabic.
Singapore 🇸🇬 will pay every child born in Singapore $25,000 at birth, $2,000 annually until age 16, and $10,000 at 17 as an education fund.
Every child born in Singapore will receive at least $70,000 from the government by age 17.
Remember, before Singapore Gaddafi did that in Libya 🇱🇾. What did he get? They turned his people against him. France and the USA bombed his country. Libya’s gold reserves were looted.
MILLION DOLLAR QUESTIONS: How did Paul O’Sullivan obtain South African citizenship with a criminal record? How did he get a firearm license with such a record that he threatened people with his firearm?
How did he secure a PSIRA accreditation with a criminal record? How did a man with a criminal record was allowed to have a VIP access to our law enforcement agencies, from Hawks, IPID, IDAC and NPA? #TheNakedTruth✊🏿
