Popular South African actor, Sthembiso “SK” Khoza, is reportedly in a hospital in England following his fiancée’s alleged physical assault on him. The actor, who hasn’t posted on social media in almost a month made the devastating announcement on Tuesday morning in a since-deleted live video on his Instagram page. Khoza explained while laying on a hospital bed:
“My fiancée almost killed me. I’d like to say to the women who physically abuse men out there, I’m not keeping quiet. Choice Kate Mathebula beat me, I have injuries all over my body right now,” he said.
Khoza expressed his wish for his mother to have been present during the incident while showing his followers his swollen upper lip, bruised neck, and cuts on his arms and ears, “I just wish my mama was around. If my mom was here right now, she’d be dragging that girl; she’d be saying, ‘Don’t take her, officers; I’ll handle her.'”
Khoza, who was wearing a bandage on his hand, was evasive when a fan questioned him regarding what had transpired, “I don’t know. All I know is that I almost lost my ear tonight; I almost lost my finger tonight. I have two broken knees right now. From spatula to tin opener to a knife, now I’m lying in a hospital in England,” the actor revealed.
The actor has also been previously accused of being abusive by his ex-fiancée, Ayanda Hlongwane, in 2021. However, in real life, Khoza warned that people shouldn’t assume that he was receiving a taste of his own medicine.
The former “The Queen” actor expressed his hope that his fiancee was in a holding cell and threatened that he’d file “some serious charges” against her. “I just want to set an example because we men are always scared to run to the police when we’re being abused. It’s easy for people to say ‘my husband hits me, my boyfriend hits me’, but, as men, we never go and open a case against women who hit us, and I’m just tired,” Khoza stated.
The actor said that his fiancée was bipolar and that he had recorded the entire incident to show that he didn’t respond violently. Khoza did not mention whether he was in England for business, pleasure, or simply to see his fiancée. Mathebula was also not available to reach for comment.
