Phakelumthakathi Spotted Alongside Prison Officials and Inmates at Westville Prison

Phakelumthakathi, whose real name is Nkosikhona Ndabandaba, has reportedly visited Westville Prison in Durban, where he was seen singing alongside a large group of inmates in images circulating on social media.

The traditional healer and anti-immigration activist appeared alongside prison officials while addressing inmates in the prison yard. The pictures have attracted attention online, with social media users discussing his presence at the correctional facility and what the visit might have involved.

The post sharing the images also compared Phakelumthakathi’s prison visit with Ngizwe Mchunu’s reported meeting with the Ministers of Police and Justice on 26 October 2026. The meeting was reportedly intended to discuss issues surrounding undocumented foreign nationals.

The person who shared the post criticised Mchunu, alleging that he was pursuing financial deals and political exposure, while portraying Phakelumthakathi as someone focused on building his public profile.

However, the purpose of Phakelumthakathi’s visit to Westville Prison remains unclear. The available information does not establish whether prison authorities invited him or whether he attended in his capacity as a traditional healer.

It is also unknown when the visit took place or whether Ndabandaba has publicly explained the circumstances surrounding it.

The images have generated mixed reactions on social media. Some users praised Phakelumthakathi’s interaction with the inmates, suggesting that singing and engaging with people in prison could be a positive gesture.

Others questioned the criticism directed at Mchunu, arguing that the allegations about his motives had not been substantiated. Some also pointed out that the two men could have different reasons for their respective activities.

While the pictures show Phakelumthakathi among inmates and prison officials, they do not independently establish the purpose or significance of the visit.

Meanwhile, it remains unclear whether Mchunu has responded to the criticism or whether his reported meeting with the two ministers resulted in any agreement concerning undocumented foreign nationals.

The discussion has therefore centred on the perceived differences between the two men, although important details about both activities remain unconfirmed.

Further clarification from those involved could help establish the purpose of Phakelumthakathi’s prison visit and provide more context about Mchunu’s meeting with the ministers.
