The publication further reported that the 32-year-old’s company was almost deregistered in 2018 and 2020 for failure to submit annual tax returns.

The star explained that the company “had to” come to an end and the company was liquidated.

“Things happen, you work with people…Doesn’t always end well.

Dlamini launched her new lifestyle lounge and rooftop bar, The Mansion, in Centurion, Pretoria on Wednesday 7 September. The event was attended by Shauwn “MaMkhize” Mkhize, Unathi Nkayi, SK and Abdul Khoza and former Idols SA judge, Unathi Nkayi.
