Bonko starred as Napoleon, a ruthless serial killer in Red Ink, while Nirvana Nokwe played his love interest, Busi. In the first episode, their seemingly normal date takes a dark turn when Napoleon's true nature is revealed. The chilling scene ends with him assaulting and murdering Busi in the middle of nowhere.

In her statement, Nokwe alleged that Bonko violated her during the filming of the scene, an action he allegedly acknowledged. She claims that the exact, harrowing moment capturing the violation was ultimately edited out from the episode, meaning the full extent of what truly happened behind the scenes never made it to the screen.

With Khoza standing his ground and maintaining his innocence, the situation has become incredibly complex, leaving fans and critics to weigh the facts against the allegations as they wait for the truth to come to light.
