A well-known television thespian Makgofe Moagi was allegedly beaten up by her husband after she told him that she is planning to divorce him.
The shocking details were revealed by a source who did not want to be named for fear of reprisal.
The deep throat alleged that Moagi informed her husband, Mandla Mazibuko, when he arrived home on 11 September that she had gone to seek legal counsel from her lawyers because she wants to end their faltering union.
The mole alleged that Mazibuko went bonkers and became extremely violent when she spoke to him about her plans to kick him to the curb.
The tipster alleged that Mazibuko pushed Moagi so violently before punching her on several occasions on her solar plexus.
It is alleged that the actress, who played Charity Mabu on Skeem Saam, alerted her close friends about the incident.
They advised her to report Mazibuko to the police.
The actress, who hails from Phalaborwa in Limpopo, went to Midrand Police Station after being assaulted and opened a case against Mazibuko. He was arrested and detained later.
The informant’s version of events is corroborated by a short police statement which Africa Daily has seen.
“The complainant alleges that on 2026-09-11 at 12:00 her husband Geophrey became violent after she said that she went to see a lawyer regarding divorcing him. She alleged that her husband forcefully pushed her and beat her using his fist and also damaged the main bedroom door, which will cost about R30 000 to repair,” read the statement.
Moagi, the former presenter of Motswako show on SABC 2, declined to comment.
“No comment as this matter is sub judice,” she said.
Mazibuko also declined to comment, citing the sub judice rule.
The allegation that Moagi was assaulted like a rented mule by her husband comes at a time when South Africa is battling the scourge of femicide.
Gauteng Police spokesperson Captain Tintswalo Sibeko confirmed the alleged domestic violence involving Moagi and her husband.
“According to the case number provided, a case of common assault under the Domestic Violence Act and malicious damage to property was opened at Midrand Police Station and subsequently transferred to Olievenhoutbosch Police Station for further investigation.
“The suspect was arrested and appeared before the Pretoria Magistrate’s Court on 13 September 2026, where the suspect was released on bail. The matter was postponed to 22 October 2026,” she said.
