Top jockey Smanga ‘Bling’ Khumalo has issued a cautionary notice to the racing public after his Facebook account was hacked recently.
While the matter has been reported to both Facebook and the National Horseracing Authority, Bling has asked that the word be spread to prevent unsuspecting fans falling prey to the ruse of sending vouchers for supposed information.

A well-known racing personality and friend of the jockey told the Sporting Post that he had tested the ‘trap’ and was requested to send a voucher via Facebook messenger.
Bling asked the Sporting Post that he and his team be given an opportunity to thank the racing public for their support and to extend an appreciation to everybody making things happen for the game.
“From Greg Bortz and Hollywoodbets and their teams in the Cape, to 4Racing on the Highveld, we are appreciative of the revival, efforts and the great initiatives introduced. Wishing everybody a prosperous and happy 2023. Whoop, whoop!” he quipped.
