The Queen actor SK Khoza has hit out at famous network provider Vodacom for allowing a random person to do a swim swap on his number.
According to him, the fraudster was able to get away with his money after getting an access to his bank details.
“I am so disappointed @Vodacom.” He tweeted. “How does a random person do a sim swap on my number? Don’t we need identification etc for such, now I sit here with someone having gone into my banking account and took money from me. All because you allow our num bers to be sim swapped by anyone. F…K”
Some of the actor’s followers commented on his post and revealed that they too have experienced the same problem or know of someone who has.

“A colleague had the same issue. I also received a message last weekend that someone is trying to do a sim swap. How do we protect ourselves from such?”

My younger sister experienced the same thing but luckily she went and changed her number to her Telekom number at the bank before they did anything else
She lost her airtime nd data only nd it wasn’t a small amount of airtime
They tried it again last month

Oh my God same thing happened to my mom a few days ago…. This is absolute madness
Responding to SK, the network provider apologised to the Queen actor and asked him to please DM them so that they can look into it.
“Oh no ‘Disappointed face’ We’re sorry to hear this and we apologise for your overall experience. Please DM us the number in question and alternative contact details so that we can look into it.”
The network provider’s response didn’t change the actor’s stance who said he will be contacting his bankers to handle the situation.
“That won’t help me get my money back…I’m handling it with my banker, you guys are just messed up NGYABONGA I’m enough.”
