Nzuzo Njilo was once dubbed as one of the promising multimillionaires in South Africa, but everything went south in the blink of an eye. However, years later, he is no longer popular.
What happened to Nzuzo Njilo?
PRIVATE WEDDING AND FRAUD CASES
Nzuzo Njilo hogged headlines when he confirmed his relationship with influencer Faith Nketsi. The two reportedly went public after dating for years. However, the two tied the knot in a two-legged wedding ceremony in April 2022.
The private wedding was strictly by invitation, and Mzansi only learned about it after Nketsi took to social media to share some priceless moments from her wedding.
Rumour mill has it that the couple splurged over R1 million for the wedding, and this became a nightmare that haunted them until their divorce. Reports have it that Nzuzo Njilo allegedly footed their wedding with money he had reportedly defrauded Lund Industries.
In 2023, the company dragged Njilo to the courts to recoup their money, and a string of fraud cases were opened against the business. Warrants of arrests were issued against him.
While on the run, the Sheriff repossessed some of his properties to recover some of the money he had defrauded people. The businessman later handed himself to the police and has been in and out of the courts.
NZUZO NJILO’S MARRIAGE WOES AND DIVORCE
However, his fraudulent businesses took a knock on his marriage, as Faith Nketsi confirmed their divorce in 2023. She made her first public announcement during the first episode of season five of her reality show ‘Have Faith.’
Faith Nketsi once made it known leaving her matrimonial home with Nzuzo Njilo to return to her mother’s place was a ‘big embarrassment.’ However, Faith Nketsi later revealed that their divorce was in its final stages.
In a statement, Faith Nketsi posted, “It’s with sadness that I have to announce that Nzuzo Njilo and I are in the final stages of our divorce proceeding.”
“No one gets married with the intention to get divorced. However, through careful consideration and mediation, we have decided to go our separate ways. Nzuzo Njilo continues to be an amazing father to our beautiful daughter, whom we are co-parenting,” she added.
WHERE IS HE NOW?

However, unconfirmed reports have revealed that he is still under the radar of the police. He was allegedly embroiled in another R20 million fraud case. On the other hand, Sunday World reported that ABSA Bank was also after him.
