LONDON - A South African-born nurse has been caught out in an elaborate plot to fake her husband's death. She had claimed that her husband had died while on holiday in Zimbabwe and had tried to claim £400 000 (R7.6 million).

Thulile Bhebhe (52) had also lied to Aviva, a UK insurer, that her husband, Bekezela, had suffered a pulmonary embolism in August 2016.

The mother of two had maintained the claim for over a year before Aviva discovered that Bekezela was still alive. In fact, he had worked a shift at Charing Cross Hospital on the day that she had alleged that he had died.

Thulile was convicted on a count of fraud in 2018 and shortly afterwards she applied for a job and lied about her criminal conviction according to IOL.

The Daily Mail reported that Bekezela was cleared of fraud after the court ruled that he had no knowledge of the false claim.

She was struck off the medical register in May after a Nursing and Midwifery hearing accused her of misconduct.

A letter from a government official stated that the star was being banned because she "has built her career and fame around morally degrading stage acts which include flaunting her nudity to audiences."

Zodwa allegedly failed to show up for an event after receiving the full payment. That's not all; the star has been ghosting the event organisers after letting them down.

Controversial entertainment blogger Musa Khawula first reported that Zodwa had received a total of R10 000 from Rainbow Family but did not hold up her end of the deal.
