Sipho Ndlovu, known for his role as Banze in the drama series Isitha, is accused of ass@ulting his girlfriend, Thandeka Mhlanga.
Thandeka, 33, from Ntuzuma in Durban, now living in Fourways, claims the actor attacked her after she allegedly caught him with another woman.
According to Thandeka, Sipho called her around 6 PM on Saturday to wish her a good night, claiming he was going to sleep.
She grew suspicious as he usually doesn’t sleep that early. When she tried calling him after 8 PM, he didn’t answer.
“When he finally answered, he pretended to be asleep, but I could tell he wasn’t in bed. So, I drove to his place. The security refused to let me in until I forced my way into the estate,” she said.
Thandeka said she found Sipho at the gate and saw the other woman through the glass door. “He blocked me from entering, slapped me, pushed me to the ground, and threw me out,” she said.
The couple had been dating since January. “At first, I thought it was just a fling until he asked me to spend more time at his place. We agreed on a schedule where I would spend two weeks at his place and two weeks at mine. Everything was fine until I found out Sipho was cheating,” she added.
Thandeka claims she discovered Sipho’s infidelity weeks earlier when she searched his phone while he was drunk. “He was flirting with many girls on social media. I confronted him, and he apologized, promising to stop. He even asked me to move in with him, but I wasn’t ready for that,” she said.
Thandeka has opened an assault case at the Cosmo City Police Station but is still waiting for a case number.
Sipho, on the other hand, plans to file a trespassing case against her. “I have videos, and the security can confirm that she forced her way in without a code,” he said
