Excitement and Support from Fans
Videos of Skomota traveling in a private chartered plane have gone viral, attracting thousands of reactions and comments on social media. The excitement around his trip is palpable, with fans flooding the comments section with congratulations and well wishes.

“Skomota flying to England, UK private. He will be performing at a Family Show in Birmingham with Limpopo boy-bujwa. The event is on the 26 May 2024, and Skhothane sa Pitori did not make it to the trip as they left him behind.”
Skomota’s Rise to Fame
Skomota became a household name in 2023 after reportedly winning R3 million from Betways. His newfound fame allowed him to pursue his passion for entertainment, quickly becoming a beloved figure in the industry. He has headlined several shows and performed alongside top-tier artists like Makhadzi and DJ Tira. Notably, he stunned audiences with his surprise performance at the South African Music Awards, showcasing his signature dance moves.
Controversy Over Booking Fees and Management
Despite his success, Skomota’s journey has not been without controversy. There have been ongoing issues regarding his booking fees and management. While his management has not confirmed his booking fees, rumors have circulated that he makes around R545,000 monthly. However, a leaked WhatsApp chat earlier this year suggested that his booking fee is R90,000.
Earlier this year, Skomota publicly accused his manager of financial mismanagement. During a podcast interview, he alleged that his manager was defrauding him. His close friend and road manager, Skhothane sa Pitori, supported these claims, revealing that Skomota did not have a bank account and that all payments were being made to the manager’s account. Skhothane also disclosed that Skomota had earned over R1 million in bookings but had not received his fair share.
