Are MaWhoo And Cyan Boujee Fighting Over Kagiso Lerutla?
MaWhoo’s alleged claims about a man buying her three properties in cash have reignited speculation about Kagiso Lerutla, the Ekurhuleni city manager facing fraud and corruption charges.

Are MaWhoo and Cyan Boujee fighting over Kagiso Lerutla? That is the question Mzansi is asking after the two women traded thinly veiled Instagram Stories on 18 October 2026. Nobody involved has named him, but the timeline has already made up its mind that a man is behind the drama.
MaWhoo opened the exchange with a screenshot of an incoming text that read, “My twin! 💋❤️😍🥰 You believe a mad lady over me. I really be having people mad for years.” Cyan Boujee answered on her own Stories with two sharp captions that users read as a direct reply. One said her name alone “will ruin a bitch whole day”, and Iyoh, nobody is calling that subtle.
Kagiso Lerutla And The Three Houses Claim
A post circulating online quoted Cyan with the line “Kodwa indoda ngiyithathile”, which fuelled the idea that the two are fighting over the same man. Then MaWhoo claimed on Instagram that a man bought her three properties in cash, with no bank financing and the title deeds in her name. That is when the speculation went into overdrive.

Some fans have floated the name Kagiso Lerutla, who was arrested earlier in 2026 on fraud charges. The Special Investigating Unit has reportedly said it is not probing the women.
On 19 October, X user @lepara_10 tagged the @RSASIU account. The post alleged that a former Ekurhuleni CFO, now the City Manager and reportedly earning R4.8 million a year, bought three properties in cash for MaWhoo, whom it identified as Thandeka Nontobeko Ngema. The post asked where that kind of cash came from, but it is an allegation from one user and nothing more.
MaWhoo And Cyan Boujee Spark A Contradiction Hunt
Sharp-eyed fans noticed that MaWhoo had previously said she was building her own house, which sits awkwardly next to the “bought for me in cash” story. Her sister Amahle has also been pulled into the conversation. Hayibo, the timeline has receipts, screenshots and a very long memory.
Opinion is split down the middle. Some people are praising MaWhoo’s talent and wishing she would keep the drama off the internet, while others are telling both women to take their business private. So is Lerutla really at the centre of this, or is Mzansi connecting dots that aren’t there? Tell us in the comments.
Mzansi Weighs In On The MaWhoo And Cyan Boujee Feud
@PortiaSekoati: “He has a type this one 🤔”
@mothobi_tumi: “What a poor simp.”
@Kgadi_yaMoloto: “Mawhoo and her sister Amahle have finally met their match. Bullies have met a bully. They think Cyan is Naledi Aphiwe who has a brand to protect. Mawhoo uses her sister to say vile things about people on the internet. [...] Cyan is from Pretoria. She will moer them.”
@ChrisExcel102: “Mawhoo is talented enough to carry herself with dignity like the likes Zonke Dikane [...] Now she out there behaving like Soshanguve huns..😩😩”

@lee_Duruwe_: “I understood the vision when MaWhoo wanted R10k for McDonald’s. But how do you look a man in the eyes and tell him you need THREE houses bought in cash? Do you start with “babe, I have a small favour to ask” and hope for the best? 😂“
@Compaqllo: “And this is why Mawhoo, as talented as she is but she will never be a Brand”
@ManziniZungu_: “These type of girlfriends, so-called baddies, take you straight to jail. If your funding model is their demanding lifestyle, you’re not in a relationship, you’re in a liability. There’s no honour in funding love or ego on borrowed/stolen money that was never yours to spend. Two women tearing into each other over the same arrested man is not a catfight, it’s a receipt. The lifestyle is never sustainable because it was never legitimate. SARS doesn’t negotiate with a sob story, and neither does a judge. To Men “Build” your own foundation never fund somebody’s crown…..”
@zintle_zethu213: “I want us to focus on the man (lerutla) alleged to be involved, this is a big scandal”
