The businessman who bought veteran actress Gcina Mkhize's house at an auction has broken his silence since the star's latest video.
Mkhize made headlines over the weekend when she pleaded for assistance in a video following her eviction from her house a few years ago.
The former Isibaya actress previously asked South Africans to help her financially in a heartbreaking video.
Drum Magazine revealed on Monday, 1 December 2025, that businessman Dzivhu Tevin Mashila reportedly bought Mkhize's house in October 2023 at an auction, and the home was registered at the deeds office in January 2024.

Mashila told publication, "The bank auctioned her home because she failed to pay the bond. I bought it. She has failed to vacate the premises since."
The businessman adds that he understands that the actress might be attached to the house, but it was sold. Mashila also shares that he offered the star to rent and not move, but she refused.
"I have not been to the house since October 2024. She managed to get a restraining order against me. However, I keep paying my bonds nonetheless," shares Mashila.
According to the businessman, the former Isibaya actress has been living in his house for free, and she previously called a sangoma and a prophet to the house, which scared the tenant living at a cottage at the back.
MDN News shared the latest video of the actress on its X account on 30 November 2025.

Social media criticises the actress
Media personality Warras, @Shady_Lurker said:
"But guys. If she stopped paying, for whatever reason. Whether willingly or because of affordability. However unfortunate that may be, her fighting the matter is not fair to the new owner or the bank. The bank is a business. Imagine if everyone just stopped paying and continued staying in properties? The bank would collapse - everyone loses. This house (until paid off) is the bank’s house. Now they’ve sold it to a new owner, who can pay the bond. That new owner also has rights. And is now paying a bond on a house still occupied by the previous owner?"

"Be that as it may, OG, the new owners still have to fully comply with the Prevention of Illegal Eviction from and Unlawful Occupation of Land Act. They cannot evict her without a court order, unfortunately. She can easily launch a spoliation application."
