Darwin Gonzalez’s goal was the difference. However, the defeat has since thrust Kaizer Chiefs coach Nasreddine Nabi’s stint into the mix.

The Kaizer Chiefs coach has proved to be the same as previous coaches who have struggled with points.

Last year, he equalled Zwane and Ntseki’s ugly eight-game run. Now, he has failed to win in his last two games, leading to social media trolls from fans.

FANS SLAM NABI

Against the defeat, Soccer Bullet quickly asked if the Kaizer Chief gaffer delivered as promised.

The post has gained thousands of comments and reactions since it dropped online. One user commented, “The coach is not make sure. A loss against Cape Town City can’t be blamed for poor quality.

“He should be struggling against Sundowns, Pirates and Stellenbosch, but that will be debated for another day. Let them sink.”

Other fans have made it known that the club must get rid of him before it’s too late.

“Kaizer Chiefs made a mistake by going to North Africa and getting Nabi as the new coach. They should have hired coach Pitso, who was available and did not have a job then,” said Junior Khanye.

Khawula’s post included a photo of Chad White, purportedly the true owner, further fueling speculation.
DJ Tira’s Response

In response to the claims, DJ Tira opted for a measured approach. Rather than directly addressing the allegations, he shared a document listing ten companies where he is listed as a director.

Each company bore DJ Tira’s name, suggesting his active involvement in multiple ventures. However, his response stopped short of directly confirming or denying ownership of Fact Durban Rocks.Public Reactions and Mixed Opinions

Social media users were quick to weigh in on the debate, with opinions divided over DJ Tira’s role in the event.

One user commented, “Being a director doesn’t necessarily mean ownership. But surely you hold some equity in this venture, right?” This sentiment reflected the skepticism among fans and industry watchers regarding the extent of DJ Tira’s involvement in Fact Durban Rocks.

While some view his exposés as a necessary lens into celebrity culture, others criticize him for sensationalism and a lack of accountability.
The Question of Ownership

At the heart of the controversy lies the question: does DJ Tira truly own Fact Durban Rocks, or is he simply its most recognizable face?

Ownership in the entertainment industry can often involve complex arrangements, including partnerships, licensing agreements, and profit-sharing deals. It is not uncommon for an event’s public figure to be distinct from its legal owner.

Without clear confirmation from either DJ Tira or Chad White, the truth about the event’s ownership remains speculative.

As the debate continues to unfold, fans and industry insiders alike will be watching closely for further developments. Whether DJ Tira will address the matter more explicitly or leave the speculation to settle remains to be seen.

Regardless of the outcome, Fact Durban Rocks remains a cornerstone of Durban’s cultural calendar, with DJ Tira at its forefront—ownership or not.
