Bala impersonator tries to lure Soweto tycoon with erotic bait

A Soweto businessman has shown a woman impersonating Metro FM news-reader Melanie Bala that not all men are sex farmers when he spurned her sexual advances.

The imposter had sent the businessman, who is known to Sunday World, sexually explicit messages, which could be mistaken for subtext of a blue movie, in a bid to bonk him.

Among the X-rated messages the imposter sent to the businessman, was that she creamed her underwear when she cast her eyes on him at the funeral of the two Soweto children who died after eating biscuits from a spaza shop on Wednesday.

The imposter sent this lewd message after the businessman warned her that his girlfriend was not comfortable with the salacious language she used in their
conversation.

Speaking to Sunday World, the businessman’s associate, who did not want to be identified for fear of victimisation, said the drama started when the well-known Soweto entrepreneur approached “Bala” and Co on their WhatsApp group and asked them if they were willing to contribute towards the funeral of the children.

He further told “her” that the children would be buried on Wednesday, saying he had secured an undertaker to bury them for free.

He also said he had also spoken to a tombstone company to donate a tombstone and another company to provide catering for the mourners.

“Bala” responded by saying that their group had raised R20 000 and gave it to another woman as contribution towards the children’s funeral.

“Bala” then asked if he was the husband of a woman known to Sunday World and that she had heard about him from certain Ekurhuleni officials.

The businessman replied by saying he was married to the woman in question, but they had drifted apart.


“Oh I heard that you are a charmer like TK Nciza,” she said.

“Not at all,” he replied.

“Nothing wrong with being good in bed, just like Gwede Mantashe,” “Bala” replied.

The businessman hinted to “Bala” that his girlfriend, whom he accompanied at the time, was not impressed with the risqué messages. But the indefatigable “Bala” replied: “Because you are good in bed.”

“Goodness. She is laughing because it is inappropriate,” he responded.

But the persuasive “Bala”, would not stop, and instead fired another seductive picture of a voluptuous woman clad in a brown bikini, claiming that she was a well-known politician’s side chick. But he ignored it.

On Monday, the businessman texted “Bala” and said he had been trying in vain, to get hold of her. “Bala” texted him and asked him to come to Rand Water in Joburg to collect the cash.

When he arrived there, he told “Bala” that he was at the branch. She then asked him to come to the office of a certain company employee.

But when he told her that he was there, “Bala” said they were actually in Rand Water’s other branch in Boksburg and said she had mistakenly sent him a wrong address.

He then asked “Bala” to wire the money into his business account and left. But the businessman did not receive the money despite “Bala” insisting that they had sent it to his account.

On Wednesday, “Bala” sent him another lurid message expressing how she was coitally aroused when she saw him at the funeral of the children.

“Saw you at the funeral, you looked yummy, tall, dark and handsome. You turned me on and really left me wetting my panties.”

The real Bala said she was aware of the impersonator using her name on various WhatsApp groups.

“Unfortunately the fact that we live in an era where misinformation is rife, coupled with people’s ‘gullibility’, it is a terrible combination for spreading untruths.”
