Mzansi's beloved radio icon, Tbo Touch, is at the center of a whirlwind of controversy following accusations from business mogul Lesiba Gwangwa. Gwangwa claims that Touch has left unpaid debts behind from a Mercedes-Maybach sale and a botched Replenishment concert before his sudden move to Australia.

Following his relocation, fans began to speculate about the true extent of Tbo Touch's wealth, with some laudatory and others critical.

"Twitter blacks are very fast to attack another black man who is fighting life. Black on black jealousy is scary on this app."
Conversely, critics were vocal, with @_uncensored_Po asserting:
"I said it a long time ago that this guy is fake. He keeps claiming he's a businessman, but we don't know what business he's into. He can't survive without radio. That's a fact. Without radio, he's got nothing going on in his life."
Many pointed to discrepancies in touch's lifestyle when compared to his supposed earnings. User @Margonha_Melale echoed this skepticism:
"There is something fake about Touch."
Another pessimistic voice, @Tshivhudziswi, scrutinized Touch's authenticity, commenting:

"Stop hating."
