Sbahle Mpisane arrested in Midrand

Reality TV Star Sbahle Mpisane was arrested for reckless and negligent driving during the festive season, Zimoja reports. Sbahle – who is the stepdaughter of businesswoman Shauwn “MaMkhize” Mkhize and the biological daughter of former Metro police officer Sbu Mpisane – was allegedly driving in Midrand, Johannesburg, when the incident happened.

Gauteng South African Police Service (SAPS) spokesperson, Lieutenant-Colonel Mavela Masondo, told the publication that Sbahle was released on bail. She will be re-appearing in court soon.

“I will confirm her court dates. Yes, the incident happened on Maxwell Drive, in Midrand. A 30-year-old woman was arrested and charged,” Masondo was quoted as saying. In August 2018, Sbahle was involved in a near-fatal accident in Durban that rendered her leg broken.

Recounting the incident in a tell-all interview with YouTuber Owamie Netshivhazwaulu in 2022, the fitness bunny said that she had had a few drinks.

“I was out with friends before we all jumped into our cars. There was alcohol involved, but I don’t drink to get drunk. It’s just that there was a whole situation that no one knows about that got me into the car accident. Only I know what happened,” she said.

Sbahle further revealed that, leading up to the crash, a drunk driver was driving badly. She said she started driving faster to get away from that vehicle, and before she knew it, her BMW 4 series hit the sidewalk. The Kwa MaMkhize reality TV star said she suffered a concussion and passed out. In addition, her leg got jammed on the accelerator, causing the car to move faster and hit the robot and, thereafter, went straight into the tree.
