Imani from Muvhango attacked by disgruntled fan in public
It is because Zonke Mchunu plays her home wrecker role so flawlessly that some people confuse her Muvhango character for who she is in reality. It is not every viewer who can separate an onscreen character from one’s real life persona. In many instances, actors are bullied for playing villainous characters when the step out into the real world.
Imani from Muvhango goes through the most and her latest ordeal takes her aback. According to Sunday World, the actress reports how she meets a disgruntled fan who almost rearranges her face. Sensing a stalker while shopping last week, the actress notices a strange woman following her.
“At first I thought she wanted to take a picture but was too shy to ask. I still don’t understand how she spotted me because I was wearing a mask. I just thought it was weird that I kept on bumping into the same lady, but I continued minding my business,” Zonke says.

Out of the blue, Zonke notices a woman pouncing on her in an attempt to scratch her face. Whatever the woman was going through, she thought attacking a person she saw on TV as a homewrecker would fix the country.
“At first, I laughed because I thought it was someone who liked the show, was referring to my character. Little did I know she meant business. I was still shaking and just froze, it is only when she nearly poked my eye, that I realised this lady means business. I was lucky when a gentleman approached and asked what was going on,” she adds.
After this ordeal, the actress is rethinking her career choice. In a bid to entertain people, she gets assaulted for being a master of her craft. Zonke continues to receive death threats and it is becoming clear how masses hate her character Imani on Muvhango. Breaking three happy relationships on the show has made her officially one of the most hated characters in soapville.
