Sthembiso “SK” Khoza, a well-known South African actor, has reportedly reunited with his fiancée, Choice Kate Mathebula, despite a recent incident that left him hospitalized in England. The surprising reconciliation has raised eyebrows, as many speculate that Khoza’s decision may be influenced by the financial stability and lifestyle Mathebula provides.
The reconciliation follows a shocking revelation Khoza made during a now-deleted Instagram live video. In the video, filmed from a hospital bed, Khoza accused Mathebula of physically assaulting him. He displayed visible injuries, including a swollen lip, bruised neck, and cuts on his arms and ears. Speaking emotionally, Khoza said, “My fiancée almost killed me. To all the women who physically abuse men out there, I’m not keeping quiet. Choice Kate Mathebula beat me, and I have injuries all over my body right now.”
The incident, which Khoza described in harrowing detail, left him with serious injuries. He lamented the absence of his mother, who he believed would have defended him had she been alive. When asked by a fan about the cause of the attack, a visibly shaken Khoza, with a bandaged hand, replied, “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.”
Despite the severity of the incident, sources close to Khoza suggest that his decision to reconcile with Mathebula may be financially motivated. The actor, who has faced his own allegations of abuse in the past, strongly denied ever being violent toward women during the live video. He stated, “I’ve never touched a woman in my life, and if that was the case, I’m pretty sure that when I was going to court for my ex-fiancée, there would have been a lot of other women who would have come forward and said, ‘Yeah, he’s hit me before.’ I’ve never hit a woman in my life; I never will.”
Khoza’s history with Mathebula has been tumultuous, and this latest incident has added another layer of complexity to their relationship. The actor expressed his frustration with societal norms that often discourage men from reporting abuse. “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,” he said.
During the video, Khoza revealed his intention to press charges against Mathebula. He claimed to have recorded the incident to prove his innocence and mentioned that Mathebula is bipolar, which could have contributed to her actions. The reasons behind his decision to reconcile with her remain speculative, but the influence of financial support is a recurring theme in the narrative.
Mathebula has not yet publicly responded to Khoza’s allegations or addressed their reconciliation. The couple’s turbulent relationship has been the subject of much public scrutiny, and this latest development has only added to the intrigue surrounding their union.
Khoza’s story highlights the often-overlooked issue of abuse against men and the difficulties they face in speaking out. As the couple attempts to move forward, it remains to be seen how their relationship will evolve and whether Khoza’s decision to reunite with Mathebula will lead to a stable and healthier future for both.
