According to The South African, during the highly-publicised murder trial, Manqele claimed she acted in self-defence by stabbing the rapper, alleging he was physically and emotionally abusive towards her.

Habedi’s brother, Tshepang Habedi, expressed mixed emotions when Manqele made these allegations in court. He stated:

“I’ve never seen him being violent towards her in their relationship. That I didn’t see… Sindisiwe also shocked me with that one.”
