Things to know about Thembinkosi Lorch’s ex-girlfriend, Nokuphiwa Mathithibala

South African soccer star who plays for Orlando Pirates and Bafana Bafana, Thembinkosi Lorch made headlines on Tuesday, 6 June, when he was found guilty of assaulting his ex-girlfriend Nokuphiwa Mathithibala.

The former couple made headlines in September 2020 when Sunday World reported that Lorch was arrested for physically assaulting Mathithibala.

Lorch – who currently shares a one-year-old baby with actress Natasha Thahane – was arrested on 7 September 2020 and granted immediate bail in the amount of R2 000.

According to the details presented in the charge sheet, Mathithibala had visited Lorch at his Midrand residence where he later left her alone and went out with friends.

Upon arrival, an argument ensued, resulting in the soccer star assaulting and strangling Mathithibala.

According to NPA spokesperson in Gauteng, Phindi Mjonondwane, State prosecutor – Michele Hart – argued that the medical evidence corroborated the evidence of the complainant.
