MaWhoo granted protection order against Cyan Boujee after threats escalate following Kagiso Lerutla love triangle drama Amapiano singer MaWhoo, whose real name is Thandeka Nontobeko Ngema, has obtained a protection order against DJ and social media personality Cyan Boujee, real name Honour Zuma, following a public fallout that escalated from social media exchanges to threats of physical violence. The court action comes weeks after the two entertainers became embroiled in a bitter public dispute over their alleged romantic links to Ekurhuleni City Manager Kagiso Lerutla. MaWhoo approached the Randburg Magistrate's Court seeking protection against Cyan after claiming that the DJ's threats and continued harassment had left her concerned for her safety. The protection order was granted in MaWhoo's favour. The dispute began around October 18, when MaWhoo and Cyan started exchanging pointed messages on Instagram Stories. MaWhoo posted a screenshot of a message from a man which read: “My twin! You believe a mad lady over me. I really be having people mad for years.” Cyan responded with a series of posts, including: “My name alone will ruin a B’s whole day.” The exchange intensified after MaWhoo claimed that a man had bought her three properties in cash, with the title deeds registered in her name. She appeared to take a swipe at Cyan by insisting that her properties were not rented. Cyan responded with a poolside lifestyle post captioned: “You own the houses on IG, I own the view in real life.” She also used MaWhoo's music in a video seemingly directed at the singer, further fuelling speculation that the two were involved with the same man. Although neither woman initially named the man, social media users linked the dispute to Kagiso Lerutla, who has been at the centre of controversy surrounding Ekurhuleni's municipal administration. The online exchanges eventually moved beyond social media jabs, with Cyan making statements about physically confronting MaWhoo. In a video circulated on social media, Cyan threatened to beat up the singer if they were booked to perform at the same event. She reportedly told MaWhoo that she would have to address her as “Sesi” while receiving a beating. MaWhoo's sister, Amahle, also became involved in the dispute. Following the backlash, Cyan announced that she was stepping away from social media. In a statement shared on Instagram, she said: “I've worked incredibly hard on myself as a person, and I'm disappointed that I allowed one situation to bring out a version of myself I've been trying to outgrow.” She added: “I'm choosing to step away from social media for a little while to reflect, grow and focus on the things that truly matter to me.” The dispute also brought renewed attention to Lerutla, whose name has previously featured in discussions surrounding the Ekurhuleni municipality and investigations into alleged corruption. In April 2026, the Special Investigating Unit (SIU) dismissed social media claims that it had expanded its investigation into Lerutla to include the financial affairs and assets of influencers, including MaWhoo and Cyan. In a statement addressing the claims, the SIU said: “The SIU does not target people, nor do we investigate people. We investigate procurement processes in State Institutions and all levels of government departments, and it's through these processes that we find people who are responsible. In simple terms, we follow the money, and the money leads us to people.” The unit further explained that it does not independently initiate investigations, but assesses allegations and submits motivations for presidential proclamations authorising investigations. buzzlifenews.com
