NPA pulls back controversial statement about Sonia's son

In January 2025, It appeared that the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) couldn't take the heat from social media and made a U-turn on its initial statement.

The organisation put Sonia Mbele on blast in a now-deleted and retracted statement mentioning the former Generations actress in her son, Donell's assault case. After facing public scrutiny for dragging the actress into her son's legal drama, the NPA issued another statement dated 22 January 2025, addressing netizens' outcry and apologising to Sonia. The statement reads:

"We acknowledge that how the statement was crafted does not align with our high standards of professionalism and integrity. It reflected poor judgment that was unfortunately allowed to slip through the standard quality control measures to which we subject our media statements.
"We sincerely and unreservedly apologise for any harm or distress caused, particularly to the mother indirectly referred to in the statement, and to all members of the public in general."

Mzansi women thirst over Sonia Mbele's son

Meanwhile, as the police continued the investigation on Sonia Mbele's son, it was clear that some people were seeing him in a completely different light than others.

Donell was accused of assaulting his former girlfriend. However, after seeing his pictures in court, some South African women believed he was too attractive for his crimes.

A TikTok screenshot showed several women thirsting over Donell's appearance, seemingly romanticising the criminal in what would be seen as a case of hybristophilia - all thanks to pretty privilege.
