Evans allegedly said that he and Stephens had reached an agreement to buy copper concentrate from Njilo’s company, NN Chrome Mining, through their company, Lund Industries.

Evans reportedly told the City Press that he sent the money to Njilo’s Absa account for the order of copper but it was never delivered to him.

“I met him through a mutual friend at Bowl’d Restaurant at Masingita Towers. He told me that he was in the trucking business, and so am I, so I thought: ‘Okay, this is cool.’ He also told me that he owned a chrome mine,” he said.

“We were in steady communication and had another meeting at Tang in Sandton, which he attended with Faith. We talked a little and discussed a few business deals,” he continued.

In October 2022, Nzuzo made a court appearance. His accounts were allegedly frozen whilst the case remained in court.

Sources close to the socialite disclosed to the publication that the mother of one had returned to club hosting, which she had stopped after getting married last year.

The source stated: “She moved out about three weeks ago. She left Njilo and has gone back to hosting in clubs again with her friend Kim Kholiwe and making money. Just a few days ago, she was hosting at Booth Night Club, and she has put herself out there once again for the work that she used to do before she got married.

“Faith has lost a lot since she married Njilo. She, like all of us, was under the impression that Njilo was monied, but he is not. She lost her Jeep, which they had to sell after sorting out another debt and then her furniture was taken by the court last year to pay the debt involving those other two guys. It is a lot in a very short space of time. Faith loves the soft life, so she went back to doing what she loves the most, which is club hosting.”

Nzuzi Njilo Father

Nzuzi Njilo is the son of a top former South African politician, Themba Njilo, who served as mayor of uMsunduzi (Pietermaritzburg), the second largest municipality in KwaZulu Natal province of South Africa.

He is the founder of the Themba Njilo foundation and the Nduduzo Bespoke Funeral Services in Edendale which was founded early in 1998. He is married to Thembekile Njilo.

Njilo was born in Vulindlela, he started his businesses as a street vendor, selling grass mats at Church Street and made his way up while uplifting communities and investing. He was elected as the ANC’s Msunduzi Mayor in 2016 local government elections.

In 2019, Njilo’s own party, the ANC, sacked him and the mayor of Durban over several irregularities in their governments.

The ANC confirmed that the two mayors, Zandile Gumede and Themba Njilo, had been “redeployed”.

ANC KZN secretary-general Mdumiseni Ntuli said the PEC arrived at the decision following a deep assessment of the provincial working committee’s report on municipalities.

The assessment, among others, showed concerns around the municipalities’ inability to raise revenue, poor planning on how to use municipal grants together with municipal revenue to speed up service delivery, procurement procedures were not in line with those set by the provincial treasury and wrong decisions taken without consequences among others.
