(Johannesburg)A man who claims to be a South African musician who died and was buried two years ago is to remain under police custody and be thrust into court after intensive DNA tests proved his identity not to match that of the late singer Khulekani “Mgqumeni” Khumalo.
Police issued a statement that the man(pictured-right) is to face fraud charges after authorities said his fingerprints do not match those of the late Khulekani “Mgqumeni” Khumalo.
Fingerprint matching  identified the man as Sibusiso John Gcabashe, 28.
“The man is currently in custody pending a criminal investigation. Detectives have been questioning the man this morning and are conducting further investigation,” said police spokesman Jay Naicker.
Khumalo died in December 2009 after drinking something he got from a traditional healer. He was buried by his family in the KwaGxobanyawo cemetery in early 2010.
The man who has made claim that he is the late Zulu traditional music singer Khulekani Khumalo, also known as “Mgqumeni,” was seen at the musician’s home last week at Nqutu village in east South Africa’s KwaZulu-Natal province.

The real and late Khulekani 'Mgqumeni' Khumalo

Mgqumeni was South Africa’s second best musician widely adored across the country.
On Sunday the “resurrected” man  addressed thousands of fans who had gathered to see the resurrected Mgqumeni and said that he was not dead but was a victim of witchcraft.
“I have been suffering a lot at the place where I was kept with zombies. It was hell there and I am so grateful that I was able to free myself and return to my family and you, my supporters.”
To add to the mystery, two of his common-law wives and his maternal grandmother told reporters they believed the man was indeed the “dead” musician.
Nomkhosi Mbatha and Thembi Ntombela said that after seeing their “husband” and spending some time with him, they needed no further convincing that it was him.
Khumalo’s daughter, Amanda, said her “father” had been the first to recognise her, calling her by name.
Khumalo’s maternal grandmother Zintombi Mseleku said she knew the moment she set her eyes on her “grandson” that it was him.
“There is no way I can get confused over Kwakhe, it really is him. He is looking a little worn, and his cheeks are less chubby, but it’s him,” she said, her eyes welling with tears of joy.
“I went in and looked at him. I called him and asked him if he knew who I was, and he said, ‘You’re my grandmother, MaSibiya. I looked at his feet and hands and I was satisfied that it is him.”

  15. Stupid wives thus why he to marry two of them to make one. Stupid inlaws reason why he had to have two inlaws. Now they think this ugly hiv infected tsotsi.
    Some must just marry anything and say they are wives. They must read the bible and know that dead people do not come back.

  16. So he will also be charged with rape by pretence if he chawed the wives after resurrection? Iyi ndo Mzansi majic manje iyi!!!!!

  18. Ah interesting indeed! This boy was quoted by the Cape Argus stating that he was epmloyed by Julius Malema and that he actually once spent 8 days with the fallen Youth Leader in Harare with Gideon Gono. Any clues who he could actually be?
