DJ Shimza fired with immediate effect from Kunye Records but headlines Kunye Fest
DJ Shimza, real name Ashley Kholofelo Raphala, headlined his Kunye Jozi XI event at Huddle Park in Johannesburg on Saturday night, 7 November, despite reports his removal as a director of Kunye Records over allegations of financial misconduct.
Kunye Records and the Kunye music events are closely associated with the internationally acclaimed DJ. Kunye Records is the company at the centre of the corporate dispute, while Kunye Jozi XI is part of the music event series organised under the Kunye Together brand owned by Shimza.
Shimza and his co-director, Jarrad Evan Treger, were removed from Kunye Records following an application by fellow shareholder Hannes Hoffmeister, who according to a report by Africa Daily, accused them of financial misconduct, unauthorised payments and conflicts of interest.
Court papers detail allegations that Shimza failed to disclose his interest in Just Exists (Pty) Ltd, which received R752 000 from Kunye Records between 2022 and 2024. Other transactions involving his company, Shimuzic, were also questioned.
Some of the payments mentioned by Hoffmeister included R300 000 on 31 July 2022 for sponsorship of SOL PTA in July 2022, R120 000 on 1 February 2023 for a Standard Bank sponsorship of a Kunye Johannesburg event, R300 000 on 3 March 2023 for a SOL/Heineken sponsorship of a Kunye Johannesburg event and R32 000 on 1 March 2023 for a KwaZulu-Natal sponsorship in April 2023.
Hoffmeister further alleges on 2 April 2024, Strongbow paid Kunye R540 000 which was transferred to Just Exists the following day under the reference "Just Exist Refund", despite no refund being due and without board approval.
He alleges that a separate payment of R185 000 was made by Kunye Records to DJ Shimza's entity Shimuzic on 1 August 2023, despite the transaction not having board approval and the expense not being related to supporting the company's events.
Hoffmeister also said several payments were made to Shimza's personal tour manager, known as "Lets Push" or "Stuff" without board approval. Further payments were made to "Zito", identified as Shimza's personal photographer.
He accuses Shimza of establishing two brands, U'R and Shimza & Friends, which competed directly with Kunye by targeting the same audience, booking similar artists and hosting events in other South African cities.
The Companies Tribunal ruled on 20 August 2026 that Shimza and Treger be removed as directors of Kunye Records with immediate effect.
However, Shimza and Treger have approached the Western Cape High Court to challenge the decision, arguing that they were not given a proper opportunity to respond to the allegations.
Meanwhile, Saturday's Kunye Jozi XI event went ahead at Huddle Park, with Shimza on the line-up alongside international DJ Francis Mercier and South African house veteran DJ Kent.

Pork has three religions waging war against it and it’s still the most consumed meat in the world.
No one can dim your light if you are the best.
My POV
Was a longtime listener. Learned a lot from them, actually. I appreciated their critique of the Biden admin’s excesses.
But then they flew too close to Trump and suddenly started turning a blind eye to things they would have screamed about for MONTHS had Biden done them. Detached from reality in a delusional sense, or because there was profit in being delusional.
Either way, it’s too bad. The only one who voiced any pushback at all was JCal.
lol the way I’ve been waiting for this to happen.
The mainstream media hates you? WTF is Fox News, which you were on two days ago, and has done GOP bidding everyday for decades? You didn’t lose because you didn’t give podcasters WH access, dipshits. You lost because your corruption and lack of moral core became impossible to ignore. Even to your acolytes.

@ AMA, for the the tall uncompleted buildings in Osu
🚨ICYMI🇯🇵🏗️✅: A viral animated video circulating online demonstrates how Tokyo’s 40-storey Grand Prince Hotel Akasaka was demolished from the inside in 2012–2013 using Taisei’s Tecorep system.
A temporary “lid” held by hydraulic jacks contained noise and dust while crews removed floors below; the building’s descending weight powered on-site electricity.
No explosives were used.

Maslow's hierarchy of needs teaches us that people must have their basic physiological needs met before they can meaningfully concern themselves with higher level needs.
How do you explain the importance of wildlife conservation to the average Nigerian who is hungry, struggling to survive and has little or no understanding of conservation?
Foreign Man Pays Men Attempting to Sell Sea Turtle Along Road Near Eko Hotel, Lagos, and Returns It to the Sea
"Today, I witnessed something that genuinely broke my heart but also restored a little of my faith in humanity.
While leaving Eko Hotel, Lagos State, I saw some men trying to sell a sea turtle in the middle of the road as though it were an ordinary item of trade.
A foreign man stopped and tried everything possible to stop them. He shouted, pleaded and appealed to the people around him, including the uniformed police officers present, to understand that what they were doing was wrong.
Sadly, it seemed his voice was the only one speaking up for a creature that couldn't speak for itself.
However, he refused to give up. He eventually paid the men for the turtle, not to own it but to give it another chance at life.
With the assistance of a police van, the turtle was taken back to the sea and released into its natural habitat."

#atAshesi, Micaiah Wiafe’17 discovered an interest in augmented reality after an introduction to 3D modeling opened up new possibilities for combining art and technology.
Beyond the computer science classroom, he explored photography and helped create Ashesi’s first yearbook. These experiences helped shape his path into a career as a Snap Lens creator and extended reality technologist.
Since graduating, he has continued to explore how technology can bring new perspectives to familiar places. One of his most rewarding projects is a video game based on the Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park, designed to help students outside Accra experience Ghana’s cultural and historical heritage, even from a distance.
