Thuli’s manager says to Sunday World, “We are still trying to gather how she is doing.

A source close to the case revealed that the Amapiano star tried getting bail but was refused.

“He is facing a serious charge of assault GBV and he can only get bail in court for that, so he has to stay behind bars overnight before he can get bail,” said the source. According to multiple sources, the couple have been going through some relationship challenges as a result of infidelity by either of them.
