In another report, the former Muvhango actress shared a statement with Briefly News in May 2025, where she stated that she lived in fear of the attempted murder on her life by her ex-lover and businessman Vusimuzi Matlala.

In October 2023, the social media personality got attacked as the car she was travelling in from Saints Champagne Lounge in Sandton got shot at.

Thobejane revealed that she was fearful that the same people who allegedly plotted for her demise may get released on bail on Tuesday, 3 June 2025.

"I'm speaking out because the justice system in South Africa has consistently failed victims. Protection is minimal. Corruption lurks in courtrooms. And survivors are expected to 'move on' while our abusers roam free. I never thought I'd have to live in fear after surviving an attempt on my life.
"This woman-someone I once knew-used her power and her money to orchestrate bullying campaigns online, to break me down emotionally, and ultimately to silence me. They paid girls to harass me online. They tried to kill me. And now they may walk free," she revealed.
