Sthembiso Khoza Breaks His Silence Due To Video Of Him That went Viral
SK Khoza left no stone unturned during his Ama-tyma interview. He still loves Ayanda Hlongwane and those videos of him fighting with people scare him.
TV personality and Real Estate agent TT Mbha reached out to actor Sthembiso Khoza on Instagram Live under his talk show Ama-Tyma to check his mental and physical wellness following his many fallouts that include his altercation with a man outside a Mpumalanga lodge in April and domestic violence allegations as laid by former lover Ayanda Hlongwane. He was reportedly arrested for beating up Ayanda.
SK tells TT that he has never laid a hand on a woman. “This is my question to South Africa, my country. Why hasn’t anybody called me to ask if I hit Ayanda Hlongwane? Does my country know that I went to court six and seven times and Ayanda never pitched, not once and she had to be subpoenaed?” he asks.
“When Ayanda arrived, she went to sign that she wants to drop the charges and reconcile with me.”
“Do people know the kind of messages I have on my phone, that I could easily post up. But I am not that kind of a person, I don’t fight fire with fire. But I can say it to you today, live, I have never hit a woman in my life,” he adds.
“Nobody asked me. When I read in the papers, they said that she was in the hospital with broken ribs and a swollen face. I know a lot of abused women in the world, and I know that what you do is you take footage of that to show the world the kind of abuse you’re going through.”
“Being a statistic is the worsbbbbbbb bbbhhbbbbhbb.t thing and worst of all a GBV one. If you have ever been around me, you know I love girls. I am not even scared to say that. As someone who is raising girls himself, you always have to think,” he says.
“The person who said I abused her never went out to the world, spoke out, or said anything. But I was guilty even before. That is our country. You are just guilty.”
He said that he never spoke up because he still loves his ex fiancee.
“Love is a dangerous game and sadly enough, I still love Ayanda Hlongwane. But not to be with her,” he says.
“I wouldn’t want to drag her or anything down. But at the end of the day, I would not want to walk my entire life knowing I didn’t do something that I’m being accused of. No one came back to find out what exactly happened, we just moved on.”
On his altercation with a man at Zebula Lodge in MP that shocked Mzansi, SK expressed his regret for the behaviour and apologised on social media. He says when he saw the videos, he could not recognise himself.
“Forgive me for I have sinned and was trapped in a very dark space. To everyone that I was rude and mean to. My deepest apologies.”
“People don’t care. If I had to tell everybody right now that I don’t remember a single thing of those videos, that scares me,” he says.
“We live in a world where people spike drinks or put things in people’s food. I think about that day and the fact that Black Coffee just won a Grammy award, and all people were talking about is SK. Do people understand that a Grammy is something even me as an actor, I would kill for.”
SK says the focus shifted from celebrating the Grammy Award, but social media started attacking him.
“That Monday was evidence that we love negativity, and we thrive on it. It was a great moment for Black Coffee, and I felt bad myself because I was going through my own things. I am not heavily religious. But we need a miracle. I am scared of my country. We love to drag people,” he says.
“Uncle Sho (Shona Ferguson) said, ‘A negative mind can never have a positive life.’ Correct me if I’m wrong, but my perception is we all have problems, money, love, religion, family, or some sort of a problem. But if your heart is not pure, you use Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram as soon as SK goes through shit to get your answers through me by being nasty to me, you have a problem.”
