Bubbly says her family opened a case of a missing person and she was later found. “I would like to thank everyone that reached out,” she says. “My family has co-operated with the South African Police Service in a case of missing person pending. But I was later found and the case was closed. I’m just glad to have been found safe not harmed.”
Bubbly suspects “something” was used to get her to black out. “I don’t remember anything. I think some criminals might have used something, I lost consciousness, and my belongings were stolen,” she says. “After a week of up and down with my family, the Humewood police team handed my phone to a suspect. I can’t wait for my Sim swap to be active so I can get back to business and sort some shit out. I miss my business.”
She is grateful for the hard work of the police. “I’d like to say thanks to Captain Thembani and Mtaba, Sergent Andrew’s Humewood Police Station, thanks so much for finding the suspects and recovering one of my lost possessions. The process has been long, difficult, and traumatic but with all said and done – we move to a new chapter and trust the SAPS to do their part,” she said. “To Bubblybling Concepts clients, I would like to profusely apologise for not being available at that moment. I will make it up to you all. I apologise. We shall come back stronger and tougher.”

Last year, she opened up about being admitted into a psychiatric home after a meltdown. “I got a mental breakdown. I cried, screamed, and couldn’t breathe. I lost my mind for a good three days and had to get medical attention. I managed to call a friend for help, she picked me up by the petrol station and took me to the police station and we went to the hospital,” she said. She was given Risperidone – which is a medicine used to treat symptoms of schizophrenia, unusual thinking, and depression. “I was also given meds to calm me and for appetite because I was not eating.”
