According to Sunday World, popular businessman Sphamandla Mabonga, the ex-lover of reality star and singer Londie London, was killed in a shootout at an upscale nightclub in Sandton.
The incident took place outside the famous LIV nightclub at 24 Central. Mabonga was rushed to the hospital but later died from his injuries.
Police report that the altercation began when a man attempted to enter the nightclub, which has a strict no-firearm policy.
This led to a shooting between the man’s bodyguards and the nightclub’s security guards.
Two bodyguards were killed at the scene, while five others, including the man, two patrons, a Community Police Forum member, and a security guard, were injured and taken to the hospital.
The man involved later succumbed to his injuries.
Initial investigations revealed that the man responsible for the shooting had been previously arrested for a similar incident in Sandton last year. No arrests have been made yet, and investigations are ongoing.
This was not the first violent incident involving Mabonga. In January 2024, he was shot in the ribs during a shootout at Tempo nightclub in Sandton and required hospitalization.
