There were rumours flying around that Sandile’s mentor was sent to prison in the United Kingdom for manslaughter. Sandile later clarified that the man in question sustained head injuries after an altercation and died after spending three days in the hospital. This was one of the first controversial issues that involved the young millionaire.

There was also an issue where Sandile was accused of plagiarism on the content of courses he was giving out. However, Sandile came out to defend himself saying he took the time to come up with the contents himself and didn’t see anything that looked alike except some pictures.

In recent times, however, Sandile has been accused of fraud. As of the 10th of October 2021, there was a police warrant for the arrest of the young businessman. Shezi has been accused by two people of defrauding them of their monies in the guise of helping them invest.

One of the supposed victims of the fraud is Allan Ledwaba who was an attendee of one of Sandile’s seminars. Allan was reportedly convinced to invest in crypto after Shezi showed him evidence of his luxuries gotten from the crypto trade and investments. As a result of this, Ledwaba took a loan of R500,000 from his father to trade. However, Mr. Allan Ledwaba claimed that Shezi Sandile was not straightforward and used a fake law firm to draw up a contract. Apart from this, Allan claims to have not received his full profit.

There is also the case of a former school principal in Limpopo who was also allegedly scammed by Sabdile Shezi. The principal claimed that Shezi convinced him to retire from his job as a school principal and invest his pension in trading Forex.

The principal heeded this advice and gave Sandile R1 million in 2018 to help him invest. However, despite being told that his investment had doubled, and being sent dividends every month, Shezi began to play foul. The principal claimed he was given only R100,000 when he asked to withdraw his money back.

Shezi has not said anything about these allegations yet, however, his lawyer, Lloyd Moonean has publicly refuted the claims by Allan Ledwaba. He said Allan has been trying to defame Sandile for a while now. He did not respond to the claims of fraud by the former school principal though.
