Tebogo Thobejane, who used to act on Muvhango, is in the news after she narrowly escaped a deadly attack in Sandton. The former actress and social media influencer was shot at multiple times on 17 October 2023 in Sandton.
Sunday World reported that the shooting occurred around 21:00 in Morningside. They said that she was unhurt, but her friend was injured and taken to the Life Fourways Hospital in Johannesburg.
According to the publication, Thobejane was also hospitalized for shock. The police have not yet confirmed the incident to the public.
Sources close to Thobejane said that the shooting happened when they were returning from a dinner with other friends. They said that Thobejane and her driver were not harmed in the attack.
A close friend told the media that: “Another friend was following them in her car. The assailants passed the friend’s car, got between the two cars, and fired at Tebogo’s car from behind.”
“The shooters targeted Tebogo and her friend, who were sitting in the back seat of the car,” the friend added. Serge The Blesser also appeared to confirm the incident when he talked about it on Instagram live earlier today. It is sad that this happened just a few months after she expressed her fears for her safety.
A few months ago, she made headlines when she said that her life was threatened and she had to move for her and her family’s protection.
Talking to the media a few months ago, Tebogo Thobejane said: “I don’t have money for bodyguards … I had to change my son’s school and reorganize my whole life.” The actress is thought to be in the country for a brief visit.”
