Activist Nomsa Mazwai has gone public with serious allegations against the South African Police Service, claiming that a case she opened against DJ Black Coffee has been deliberately buried. In a thread posted on X on 21 October 2026, she alleged that two separate dockets have disappeared under suspicious circumstances, and accused SAPS of being "bought."
Writing under her handle @nomisupasta, Mazwai addressed the police service directly, stating that her first docket was lost at the police station, while a second was mysteriously withdrawn with a false SMS sent to notify her. She added that 2.5 months had passed with no communication from authorities.
Mazwai's allegations against SAPS
She wrote, also tagging the National Prosecuting Authority and the Independent Police Investigative Directorate:
"Dear @SAPoliceService. You can be bought. Looks like you have been bought. I opened a case against Black Coffee. 1st docket, lost at the police station. 2nd docket, mysteriously withdrawn with false sms sent. 2.5 months later, dead silence.”
Mazwai confirmed she had escalated the matter to IPID, reporting both the unexplained delays and the missing docket. She said an investigation was opened but has since gone nowhere. "I have reported to @Ipid and reported unexplained delays as well as a lost docket. Opened investigation, then DOLOLO!" she wrote.
Mazwai calls on Ramaphosa, claims shadow ban
The single mother also directed her frustration at President Cyril Ramaphosa, accusing him of being too distracted by campaigning to address how his institutions are failing ordinary citizens. She added:
"So what is a single mother to do! What are you doing @CyrilRamaphosa? Too busy campaigning. Well, our lives are being destroyed by your institutions and the culture of corruption. It looks like Black Coffee can afford to buy everyone, even you."
Nomsa Mazwai also raised concerns about what she described as a shadow ban placed on all her social media accounts, urging followers to retweet her posts to spread awareness before she is silenced.
@Ihearyou_26, replied, asking for more details about the nature of the case, writing:
"What is the case about, Sisi? Don't have to go into details. So we can make enough noise to get attention, since the only way to get things done in South Africa is to make noise."
Neither SAPS, the NPA, nor Black Coffee's representatives had addressed her allegations publicly at the time of writing.
