Everything You Need to know about Mthandeni and Zimdollar’s Mic-snatching altercation

Maskandi artist Mthandeni Manqele and Ukhozi FM presenter Zimiphi ‘Zimdollar’ Biyela were involved in a mic-snatching altercation

Ukhozi FM traditional music presenter, Zimiphi “Zimdollar” Biyela grabbed a microphone from Mthandeni Manqele (Igcokama Elisha) at Moses Mabhida stadium in Durban a few minutes ago. Manqele was supposed to perform at 7 pm and he came in late and started to perform. To cut the unauthorized performance, Zimdollar grabbed the microphone as Siboniso Duma did to Reverend Thulasizwe Buthelezi at KwaCeza.

Zimdollar took to TikTok to explain why she snatched the microphone from Manqele and had him and his entourage thrown off the stage.

Zimdollar said the event organizers had paid Manqele handsomely to perform at 7 pm, but he only showed up at the event at around 9.30 pm.

She said all other artists who had been hired as guests to perform, showed up on time.

“Mthandeni does not respect his work, he was paid to perform at 7 pm, and he knew this but he did not arrive on time.

“When we kept calling him and his team they kept saying they were on the way until they eventually arrived around 9 pm,” said Zimdollar.

She said upon their arrival, a small delegation was sent to Manqele and his team to explain they were late and would not be allowed to perform on stage as the competition with the 30 participants had already started and no other guest would be allowed to perform further.

“They pretended they understood and acted like they were leaving, but after that, they went to the stage and they removed the DJ and he performed his song by force.

This is what fans have to say

*Mthandeni was wrong, he arrived late and went to the stage without being authorized to do so.*

*But Zimdollar was unprofessional and should be suspended for the behavior and use of Strong Language*

*So other artists who arrived early must be delayed by a late comer Mthandeni?*

*Maybe that’s what Mthandeni needed, after the disrespect of everybody*

*But then Mthandeni would keep disrespecting events if Zimdollar allowed him to do it again and again..in fact he was supposed to be removed by security or police by force..you can’t disrespect the event like that, chase away the DJ* http://www.oasisconnect.co.za
