The Ultimatum SA shot up trends list

Netflix reality star Khanya Nqolase from Ultimatum South Africa has apologised to viewers of the show after swearing at her boyfriend Nkateko and her co-star.

On Tuesday night Khanya got viewers tongues wagging on social media, with many labelling her an “abusive” and “mean” woman as she shot up trends lists. 

Khanya issued an ultimatum to an unsure Nkateko, but her treatment of him on the show had viewers boiling. Khanya was heard hurling insults at Nkateko about his teeth and she threw a bottle of wine at him.

Khanya, 34, took to her timeline to share a statement.

“I understand if some of you may feel like I was out of line with some of my words and actions. It was an intense experience for me and I handled it the best way I could. Just like it was not easy for other cast members watching their partners with other people, it was not easy for me too.

Bucy Radebe's husband denies their marriage is on the rocks

Bucy Radebe's husband, Thapelo, has slammed rumours his marriage to the gospel star is coming to an end.

This after City Press reported on Bucy's WhatsApp status suggesting she was “officially a single lady”.

“I've done things that I'm not proud of just to get over the pain and betrayal. I lost a big part of myself in the process, but I guess it's not too late to start over. I have to start by forgiving myself and start loving myself better,” Bucy reportedly wrote on her WhatsApp status.
