Moja Love’s Xolani Khumalo, the host of the Sizok’thola show, who exposes drug cartels and syndicates, many of which are Nigerian drug lords, now lives in constant fear of being assassinated after receiving death threats from unidentified drug dealers.

Khumalo hosts the DStv channel 157 show, Sizok’thola, which cracks down on drug lords, syndicates and other crimes.

Khumalo does this alongside law enforcement and investigative journalists.
