Moja Love has terminated channel's popular drug-busting show, Sizok'thola host Xolani Khumalo's contract amid ongoing murder investigation.

Khumalo is facing murder charges following the death of alleged drug dealer, Robert Varrie, who was the subject of a drug bust in Katlehong.

According to his family, Varrie died after he was interrogated and assaulted by Khumalo and crew.

Khumalo handed himself over to police in September and appeared in the Palm Ridge Magistrate's Court where he was released on R20,000 bail.

In the statement released on Friday, Moja Love said it would not be commenting further on matters related to Khumalo.
