Fall of the Ndlala Dynasty? Tshwane mayor Nasiphi Moya cuts power to another Thami Ndlala property

Tshwane Mayor Nasiphi Moya says the City has disconnected electricity supply at a second property owned by businessman Thami Ndlala as part of its enforcement of credit control measures against defaulting property owners.

The latest disconnection took place at Ndlala Dynasty, an accommodation facility in the Pretoria central business district, which owes the City of Tshwane R2.3 million in unpaid electricity bills.

This follows an earlier electricity cut-off at the former Sterland Mall in Arcadia, which has since been rebranded as Ndlala Mall under Ndlala’s ownership. The property, located at the corner of Steve Biko Road and Pretorius Street, was disconnected after the City cited outstanding municipal arrears.

“We’ve disconnected electricity at another property owned by Thami Ndlala – Ndlala Dynasty – an accommodation facility in the Pretoria CBD. The property owes the R2.3 million for electricity,” Moya said in a social media post.

The City has warned that it will continue disconnecting electricity and other municipal services at properties with outstanding accounts where payment arrangements are not in place.

In October, IOL reported that Mzansi media personality and DJ, Lerato Kganyago, was at the centre of a social media storm due to her estranged husband, Ndlala.

Recently, Ndlala was implicated in the ongoing Madlanga Commission, where testimony has raised eyebrows about a hotel gifted to Kganyago in 2022.

The hotel in question, Hillel Villa & Spa, was spotlighted during the inquiry. 

During the hearings, a witness known as Witness A, an SAPS detective assigned to the Organised Crime Unit, testified from a safe house. He revealed that he received an invitation to a party at Hillel Villa & Spa, allegedly sent by Ndlala through a colleague.

When he attended the event, Witness A was shocked to see several high-ranking police officials present, including Major-General Richard Shibiri.

Witness A suggested that this gathering might be part of efforts to influence investigations into criminal cartels operating in Gauteng.
