In a subsequent tweet, the singer claimed that her car was stolen by two employees of the panel beaters shop where she was at.
She shared their photos on social media.
“If you know these people please DM or call the police anonymously. Their names are Andre Machava and Den Machava,” she wrote.
Dana also called out her car’s tracking device company saying that they were doing a ‘dismissal’ job in responding to her.
“Dear @CartrackZA your responses to this are really dismal. I shouldn’t have to come to social media,” she wrote.
