Actor Sipho Ndlovu, known for his role as Sambulo in the drama series The Wife, has been accused of assaulting his girlfriend, Thandeka Mhlanga. Thandeka, who is 33 years old and originally from Ntuzuma, Durban, resides in Fourways. She claims that the actor assaulted her after she allegedly caught him with another woman.
Details Of The Assault
According to Thandeka, the incident occurred on a Saturday evening. Sipho had called her just after 6 pm to wish her a good night, claiming he was about to sleep. This raised Thandeka’s suspicions as it was unusually early for him to go to bed.
When she tried calling him again after 8 pm, he did not answer her calls. Upon finally answering, Sipho pretended to be sleeping, but Thandeka could tell he was not in bed. She drove to his place, where the security initially refused her entry. She managed to force her way into the estate.
At the gate, Thandeka saw Sipho, and through the glass door, she spotted another woman. Sipho allegedly blocked her from entering the house, slapped her, pushed her to the ground, and threw her out. The couple had been dating since January of this year.

Cheating Allegations

Confronting him about these messages, Sipho apologized, and they decided to move past it. At the same time, Sipho was urging Thandeka to move in with him permanently, a step she was not ready to take.
