Tebogo Thobejane Praises General Mkhwanazi in Heartfelt Post: “I Don’t Know You Personally”

• Tebogo Thobejane publicly expressed support for KwaZulu-Natal Provincial Police Commissioner Lieutenant-General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi
• Tebogo Thobejane shared an emotional post with a powerful Bible verse about justice and promised to do something for General Mkhwanazi
• Netizens reacted with mixed responses, with several suggesting that she's part of the problem

Former Muvhango star Tebogo Thobejane has jumped on the bandwagon of celebrities praising KwaZulu-Natal Provincial Commissioner Lieutenant General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi.

This comes after General Mkhwanazi made damning allegations against Police Commissioner Senzo Mchunu in a press briefing on Sunday, 6 July 2025.

Tebogo Thobejane’s support comes from a personal place. Her ex-boyfriend, Vusi “Cat” Matlala, who allegedly masterminded her failed assassination, also supposedly colluded with Mchunu to shut down a task force investigating political killings in KwaZulu-Natal.

What did Tebogo say about General Mkhwanazi?

In a heartfelt Instagram post shared on Sunday, 13 July 2024, Tebogo Thobejane shared an AI-generated head bust of General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi, which featured a Bible verse and a powerful message about justice. The inscription reads:

“Justice is indivisible. ‘Let justice roll down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream.’ Amos 5:24"

Tebogo Thobejane paired the head bust with a touching post praising General Nhlanhla Mkwanazi. She expressed gratitude to the KZN top cop for being courageous and speaking up.

“Thank you for speaking when so many stayed silent. For carrying a weight most will never understand. At some point, someone will truly stand up for us 😇😇😇I believe that,” part of the caption reads.

Tebogo Thobejane also promised to continue doing something meaningful for General Mkhwanazi.

“Thank you for holding hope for believing that mothers can live for their children even when the world makes it so hard. I don’t know you personally, but I see your heart. And I will keep praying for your peace, your healing, and your protection because when one of us stands, we all begin to rise,” she ended.
