DJ and businessman Sbusiso Leope, better known as DJ Sbu, recently faced the wrath of netizens after a video of him mocking a street vendor went viral.

In the video, the businessman fired the seller for not selling his power on time, MoFaya. After it went viral and received backlash, DJ Sbu apologized to the man and gave it to MoFaya to sell. But the street vendor’s son was injured by the Sbu’s action.

@kgosi_manyele took it to his own TikTok recounts tearfully and told Sbu that he didn’t like what he did to his father. He even told him to come get MoFaya which he gave to his father.

“The guy is right to be upset because the bottom line is that DJ SBU wasn’t going to apologize if the video didn’t go viral and it wasn’t genuine, let’s face it this is heartbreaking .”
