He has been booked almost every weekend to make appearances and for performances. His fans were shocked to see the Mercedes-Benz V-Class valued at R1.4 million he uses to travel being impounded. According to a close friend, the car has since been repossessed after owing the bank for almost three months but sets the record straight on who owns the bus.

CAR BELONGS TO PROMOTER

The car is said to belong to a promoter and road manager at Midrand-based company, BT Holdings, who failed to meet his payment obligations with the bank. "The car did not break down; it was taken by the sheriff,' the source said. "The car does not belong to Skomota or his manager. They hired the car for a few bookings and the guy offered to pay Skomota R6 000 to brand it with his face for marketing purposes. He hardly ever used the car to transport him. Skomota cannot afford that car on his own; it's not his," the source added.

NOT HIS CAR

Skomota's manager, Moruti Wa Dikota, also confirmed with ZiMoja that the car does not belong to Skomota. "That is not his car or my company car. It just has Skomota's face on it,' he said. Last week, Skomota made headlines after people assumed he had bought the new car when he posted it with his face branded. "The name on the car is even misspelled. They wrote Skomoda and not Skomota to prove it's not our team,' Moruti Wa Dikota said.
