In a statement, Anne's brother Juan Nhira said the media personality sustained injuries on her chest area, ribcage and back. According to iHarare, Juan added that they are now hoping to find surveillance videos from the area as they have not been able to find any witnesses to the incident.
In other entertainment news, Briefly.co.za reported that Sonia Mbele is the latest Mzansi celeb to react to the passing of legendary actor Menzi Ngubane.
Menzi's fans and peers in the entertainment industry have continued to share their heartfelt tributes and messages of condolences to the family and friends of the late veteran actor since his death on Saturday night.
Sonia, who was Menzi's onscreen wife during their days at the now-defunct Generations, took to Twitter late on Sunday, 14 March to share with her fans that she's still processing Menzi's sudden passing. The actress, who played the character of Ntombi in Generations, wrote:
"I’ve been quiet because I’ve been processing. I’m still battling! Ours was a love story crafted in television land, and you’ll forever remain Ntombi’s soulmate."
Sonia's fans took to her comment section to comfort her since she was close to Ngamla and they had worked for many years together on the soapie. A fan @man_brothers said:
"Out of all the women he had performed with, this was his perfect match-up in every way. This was the perfect picture of a family. Ntombi will forever remain the perfect woman for Sibusiso/Ngamla. NB: We have still not forgiven Mfundi Vundla for firing Christie too."
