Her return comes after weeks in the ICU recovering from burn injuries linked to an incident that unfolded during a heated confrontation with her boyfriend.

The situation escalated on 9 January 2026 in Umlazi in the South if Durban in KZN where she suffered burnt wounds.

According to police reports and multiple news outlets, the conflict began when Nenezane accused her boyfriend of physically assaulting her.

She had previously opened several cases against him, claiming that authorities were slow to act. Her social media posts about the alleged abuse went viral, drawing national attention and sparking public outrage.

“Dear friends and family. It feels truly surreal to be writing this, but my heart is overflowing with gratitude and excitement as I announce my official return to work on March 1st 2026. As many of you know, I’ve been away, navigating a challenging recovery from an injury that took me away from what I love doing most working with all of you.

“This past while has been a profound journey, both physically and emotionally. There were days that felt incredibly long and moments filled with uncertainty. But through it all, one thing shone brighter than anything else: your unwavering support. Every single message, every WhatsApp, every phone call they weren’t just notifications; they were lifelines. They were tangible reminders of your kindness, your care, and the incredible community I’m so privileged to be a part of,” she wrote.

Nenezane said she was counting down the days until she can reconnect, dive back in, and continue our work together.

“Thank you, from the very bottom of my heart, for everything. I can’t wait to see you all soon,” she wrote.

Police said Nenezane suffered burn wounds while allegedly setting her boyfriend’s car alight during an Instagram Live session.

The vehicle burned completely, and she was rushed to hospital, where she spent days under close observation in the ICU.

Police later confirmed that she would face counter‑charges of assault and malicious damage to property once discharged.

Throughout her recovery, Nenezane remained mostly silent, but her supporters did not. Celebrities, activists, and ordinary South Africans rallied behind her, calling for stronger action against gender‑based violence.

Organisations like Women For Change condemned the systemic failures that force survivors to turn to social media for help.

Now, after weeks of physical and emotional healing, Nenezane has announced her return to work.

She described the journey as overwhelming and said the support she received kept her going. She expressed gratitude for every message and call, saying they reminded her that she was not alone.

Her comeback marks a moment of rebuilding. While investigations continue and legal matters remain unresolved, she is choosing to reclaim her space, her clients, and her sense of normalcy. For many who have followed her story, her return is a sign of resilience after a painful and public ordeal.

ActionSA, the party he represents, announced that Khumalo will hand himself in following reports of a planned arrest linked to an alleged assault. The party says this stems from an incident during a 2025 police raid in Katlehong, where Khumalo was present as officers searched the home of a suspected drug dealer. Police reportedly found unlicensed ammunition and arrested the individual  but the suspect was later released without going to court, and the ammunition was allegedly given back.

According to ActionSA, the same person then filed what the party calls a false assault charge against Khumalo, and police are now moving forward with it. The party’s national chairperson, Michael Beaumont, described the situation as part of a bigger problem.

Beaumont explained that Khumalo learned about the possible arrest through public reports and leaks from within the police. He immediately reached out to arrange a meeting with SAPS to understand their plans. After discussions, Khumalo decided to come forward voluntarily.

The party believes this is retaliation against Khumalo for his strong stance against crime in Ekurhuleni. Khumalo has become a household name through TV shows where he confronts alleged drug dealers and shines a light on criminal networks.

ActionSA claims the suspect involved is tied to a larger drug-dealing operation that may include some police members, something they say Khumalo is helping proper authorities to investigate.
