Mpumelelo Mseleku, the head of a security firm and reality TV star, has filed a criminal complaint after eight men posing as police officers broke into his house.
Mpumelelo is the son of businessman and popular polygamist Musa Mseleku.
Mpumelolo was home at his Ballito apartment on Wednesday, October 22, with his heavily pregnant partner, Amanda Biyela, when the men stormed into his abode at about 11pm.
Not wearing any police uniform, the armed men are said to have broken down the door to his apartment, using what his lawyer, Thabani Mpungose of Thabani Mpungose Attorneys, claimed was a fake search warrant with a fraudulent signature and unofficial stamp.
Fake search warrant
Mpungose detailed to Sunday World how the men gained access to the complex without a security code and went to Mpumelelo’s apartment.
“They broke the door to gain access into the apartment and produced a fraudulent search warrant,” Mpungose said.
“We verified the warrant’s inauthenticity with the authorities and the district commissioner, who showed us a real one.”
The men claimed to be from the crime intelligence department, which Mpungose later confirmed to be untrue.
“They accused him of drug dealing, money laundering, fraud, dealing in illicit goods, and being in possession of an unlicensed firearm,” Mpungose said during an interview with Sunday World on Wednesday.
“They did not make any arrests but said they were conducting a search based on the warrant. He had R30 000 in the house, which was stolen during the raid.
“There was a bullet missing from his licensed firearm, which they stole. They damaged the door of the apartment, and it has not yet been repaired.”
Case of theft filed
Mseleku, through his legal team, has opened a case with the Durban Central police.
“We opened a case of theft, fraud, damage to property, defamation, and misrepresentation.
“We found that two of the men were indeed real [police] officers, and the other guys were private security. The district commissioner also confirmed that the warrant is fake,” Mpungose said.
KwaZulu-Natal police spokesperson Colonel Robert Netshiunda confirmed to Sunday World that a criminal case has been opened.
“Police in Durban Central have opened a case of house robbery following an incident in which a couple was allegedly robbed of their belongings at their residence on Douglas Grove in Ballito on Tuesday, October 21, 2025,” said Netshiunda.
“Reports indicate that the couple was at their home when at least eight people came to their house and reportedly posed as police officers. The suspects allegedly stole an undisclosed amount of money.”
