The last time the young millionaire was in the province, he was the biggest show-off in SA. All of that now appears to have changed.
Mpumalanga businessman Sam “Mshengu” Chabalala appears to be following his own advice from September when he warned his followers against sharing their success stories on social media, “as there are jealous people watching”.
He was arrested in September after an alleged attempt to pay home affairs officials R40,000 “to destroy reports of a fraudulently obtained South African identity document against him”, according to the Hawks. The accused’s lawyer, however, told the tabloid that the state had a “weak case” and would struggle to prove it.Most South Africans had never heard of the young millionaire until he became the face of a flashy convoy of supercars that travelled to the Durban July this year.
Claiming to be born in Makwarela, Venda, he had earlier opened up on radio in July about his difficult upbringing and how he eventually made it in the logistics business.
