Khanya's attorney, Idemudia Uriesi of PI Uriesi Attorneys, confirmed to TshisaLIVE that the actress was arrested on suspicion of drinking and driving three weeks ago.
He said while it was not known who recorded the video and shared it on social media, he saw her doing nothing wrong in the clip.
"I do not see her doing anything wrong in the video, other than standing up for herself. People should give the process a chance and remember that at this stage it is just an allegation," said Uriesi.
According to a Sunday Sun report, Khanya was arrested on charges of common assault and driving under the influence of alcohol.
She appeared at the Randburg Magistrates Court on May 9 and was released on R1 500 bail. The actress is set to appear in court again early next month.
