Musa Khawula Faces Backlash for Allegedly Disclosing SK Khoza’s HIV Status in Leaked WhatsApp Chats
Musa Khawula, a controversial media personality, has come under fire from social media users after allegedly disclosing the HIV status of actor SK Khoza in a series of posts that have since gone viral. The incident has sparked widespread outrage and discussions about privacy and HIV stigma.
Leaked Conversations Stir Controversy
The controversy began when Khawula shared screenshots of a WhatsApp conversation with Gogo Maweni, a well-known sangoma and former partner of SK Khoza. In these screenshots, the two appear to be discussing Khoza’s HIV status, making light of the situation and suggesting that Khoza lost an acting gig due to his HIV-positive status.
Khawula’s actions have been met with severe backlash, as many view the disclosure as a significant violation of privacy and an act that perpetuates harmful stigmas associated with HIV.
Social Media Outrage
Social media users quickly expressed their disapproval of Khawula’s behavior. Comments flooded in, criticizing the YouTuber for his lack of sensitivity and respect for Khoza’s privacy. Many emphasized that in 2023, perpetuating HIV stigma is not only outdated but also harmful.
- @priscilla_samke: “HIV STIGMA? 2023 awwwaaa Musa!”
- @onarelonamadingoane: “Stop with the HIV stigma.. Its 2023 please.”
- @thando_lwandle93: “Says someone who never get tested wait until it relax your hair for free darling.”
- @msmo_gratitude: “This is so backward… Why do you want to shame an HIV+ person? Why is this news?”
- @piscepeace: “So we’re HIV shaming now? Grow up please.”
Legal Repercussions for Khawula
This is not the first time Musa Khawula has faced legal troubles over his comments on social media. Recently, he was reportedly sued for R500,000 by celebrity photographer Dumani Khuzwayo. Khawula had previously suggested on Twitter that Khuzwayo had AIDS and was involved in transactional sexual relationships. The Johannesburg High Court ruled in favor of Khuzwayo, ordering Khawula to pay half a million rand in damages.
The Broader Implications
This incident with SK Khoza has reignited conversations about the importance of privacy and the damaging effects of HIV stigma. Public figures and advocates are calling for greater sensitivity and understanding around issues of health and personal privacy. The actions of individuals like Musa Khawula highlight the need for continued education and awareness to combat the stigma associated with HIV and other health conditions.
As the entertainment industry and social media users react to this incident, it serves as a reminder of the responsibilities that come with the power of public platforms and the impact of our words on others’ lives.
