The South African reported on Tuesday, 10 February 2026, that Nandipha's brother, Nkosinathi Sekeleni, has been arrested and charged with attempted murder after he reportedly committed a brutal assault on another man over the weekend. Sekeleni revealed that he attacked the unknown man on Saturday, 7 February 2026, after he reportedly tried to rob him.
Magudumana's brother reportedly appeared in the Randburg Magistrate’s Court on Monday, 9 February 2026, alongside two other men.
According to IOL, the trio's charges, which were upgraded from assault with intent to cause grievous bodily harm, were later upgraded to attempted murder as the victim continues to battle for his life in the hospital.
The three men were released on a warning pending further investigation and will return to court in March.
Social media user @Am_Blujay previously shared on his X account that Showmax paid Nandipha's brother R30 000 for interviews.
"MultiChoice admitted that its streaming subsidiary, Showmax, paid Nandipha Magudumana's brother R30 000 for exclusive interviews, and claimed her co-accused father had sent an email threat to its Tracking Thabo Bester series producers," he wrote.

Buli Lesedi reacted:
"So he doesn't have a name, or Magudumane is their surname, because really I don't think it's fair if Magudumane is Nandipha's hubby's surname, that guy has been through a lot already and doesn't deserve more humiliation."

"The father was charged, the sister in jail, now the brother arrested. Hayi, what's wrong with this family?"
