Gcina Mkhize Wins 1st Round in Effort To Save Her Home in Ongoing Eviction Saga

• With an update revealed on her case, the online community discussed the ongoing matter

South African actress Gcina Mkhize is fighting tooth and nail to win back her home after it was repossessed by the bank.

The former Isibaya star, known for her role as Khanyisile Majola-Ndlovu in the now-defunct soapie, reportedly won the first round in her bid to challenge the decision by the bank to auction her house without her knowledge and to challenge the court's decision to evict her.

MDNnewss reported that on Thursday, 4 December 2025, Mkhize filed court papers opposing the two decisions at the Booysens Magistrate Court in Johannesburg. The court later ruled in her favour, allowing her matter to be postponed to 5 February 2026 for another hearing.

Speaking on the matter, the actress, who had previously pleaded for donations, stated that although she does not have money for a lawyer, she believes that God and her ancestors will see her through.

"I'm prepared to fight for my house with everything that I have. I don't want to lie to you and say I have funds to find a legal practitioner to help me fight this matter, but I believe that God is with me. My ancestors are with me as I'm fighting for the house that they gifted me."

This comes a year after the actress received donations from kind Samaritans when she and her children were evicted from their home.

Briefly News reported that Gcina and her family were left homeless after the new owner, businessman Dzivhu Tevin Mashila, purchased the house at an auction.

While the actress suggested that she was unfairly evicted, the publication understands from the new owner that Mkhize had allegedly not paid her bond for some time, forcing the bank to place the house on auction. He claims he bought the house fair and square.

Online users were indifferent on the matter and criticised Mkhize for living in a house she does not legally own or can afford, suggesting that she should rather move back home.

BMothabela said:

"It's not her house because she never finished the bond. The house legally belonged to the bank, and the bank had every right to sell it once it had exhausted all avenues to get her to make payments, which she failed to do."

LindoMkhi asked:

"But can she still make payments?"

gandanga_m was curious:

"She struggled paying her bond, and now where will she get money for legal fees?"
