Durban hairstylist Snenhlanhla Mthembu, widely known as “Nenezane,” has returned to work following a highly publicized and turbulent period that saw her admitted to intensive care and facing scrutiny over an alleged vehicle-burning incident involving her boyfriend.
According to statements shared by Mthembu and individuals close to her, the conflict began after she accused her boyfriend of physically assaulting her during a domestic dispute.
The situation escalated further when she set her boyfriend’s vehicle alight shortly after the alleged assault when she was going live on social media. This is when she was burned and needed medical attention. The alleged altercation reportedly left her requiring urgent medical attention, and she was subsequently admitted to ICU, where she remained under close observation. Details surrounding the extent of her injuries have not been publicly disclosed, but sources say she has since made a steady recovery.
Authorities are believed to be investigating the circumstances surrounding both the assault allegations and the car fire.
In the aftermath of the ordeal, Mthembu has maintained a relatively low public profile. This week, however, she confirmed her return to work, signaling what many see as an attempt to regain stability after weeks of personal and legal turmoil.
