Legendary singer and producer Dj Bongz. Picture: Instageram/@realdjbongz DJ and businessman Bongani Dlamini-Ngcobo, known as DJ Bongz, has addressed allegations that staff at his Views Night Club were not paid their salaries. This comes after reports earlier this week suggested that some waiters at the Durban-based club had not received their pay for several weeks.
One former employee toldMDN Newsthat he resigned as the situation was taking a toll on him. “For the past three weeks, we have been fighting over the salaries of the waiters, and he’s not explaining anything to anyone except telling us the same thing that he will sort us out,” the employee said. “When you ask for a timeline, there is no timeline.
I decided to quit being a waiter because it was draining me emotionally and financially.” In a statement released on Tuesday, DJ Bongz acknowledged salary delays and said the business had faced internal challenges. “Over the past two months, management uncovered repeated incidents of stock and cash theft involving specific individuals. These activities severely affected the financial stability of the business,” he said.

He said criminal cases had been opened and investigations are underway. The DJ also denied claims that the club had failed to meet its obligations. “While it is true that the business experienced temporary salary delays, it is incorrect to suggest that staff were deliberately not paid or that Views Night Club neglected its obligations,” he said.
