Khoza’s personal life has often been in the spotlight, usually for the wrong reasons. He has three children with different women, including Gogo Maweni and Lee-Anne Makopo. His love life has been tumultuous, marked by child maintenance court cases, cheating scandals, and a divorce.

Controversies
Khoza’s life has been marred by several controversies. In 2018, he was brought before the Johannesburg family court for failing to pay child maintenance for six months. He claimed that the producers of The Queen were not paying him, and he was in significant debt. As a result, he could not afford to pay child maintenance.

In a controversial incident, a video of Khoza dancing with topless women during the lockdown period went viral on Twitter.

This year, Khoza made headlines again after a video of him involved in a public brawl at a local hotel went viral. He is currently trending after opening an OnlyFans account, and another explicit video of him has flooded social media.
