According to sources close to the situation, Thusi—who plays the role of Isaac in the daily SABC 1 telenovela—is still fighting for his life and for justice following the attack. The incident happened on the 4th of May outside his residence in a Boksburg complex.

He was later admitted to Tambo Memorial Hospital in Boksburg.

MDN News is in possession of gruesome pictures showing the body parts where the two pitbulls injured him.”Things are not okay for him; he is still fighting for his life, even though he is stable,” said the first source.

“The issue with his case is that the owner of the two pitbulls is trying to be smart and denies owning both dogs. He is now claiming that he only owns one pitbull and that the other was taken by the SPCA. We are just wondering why they failed to take both of them, because it is clear that the owner is failing to keep them in a safe place where they won’t be able to attack other people.”

MDN News is also in possession of email exchanges between Thusi’s lawyers and the owner of the pitbulls.”These dogs must not be around people because they are very vicious. As Mondli lies in hospital, he can’t even attend to his businesses and acting gigs. Those dogs ripped him apart, and it was only through God’s grace that he managed to fight them off before they took his life,” a second source said.

MDN News also has a voice note from Thusi detailing how the incident happened. In the recording, he said:

“I’m still in so much pain, but I’m getting better by the day. I cannot share many details since the matter is being handled by my lawyers, but I can confirm that the incident did happen.”

Gauteng SAPS spokesperson Colonel Noxolo Kweza confirmed the incident.”I can confirm that we are investigating a case of keeping a ferocious dog, following an incident where a man was attacked and bitten by dogs,” she said.
