Wandi Ndlovu, a cast member of the controversial South African reality show This Body Works for Me, is making headlines for all the wrong reasons after becoming embroiled in a shocking family tragedy that resulted in the death of her uncle, Linda Ndlovu.
The 26-year-old reality star, alongside her mother and sister, Ntombifuthi Ndlovu, is currently in police custody and expected to appear in Palm Ridge Court this week as investigations into the fatal stabbing continue.
What Happened?
According to reports from The Citizen, the tragic incident took place in the early hours of last month at the family home in Katlehong, Ekurhuleni. The confrontation allegedly began over something as trivial as loud music being played by Linda, who lived in a backroom on the property.
Police sources and family insiders claim that Wandi’s mother approached her brother to ask him to lower the volume. A heated argument reportedly followed, during which Linda allegedly struck his sister on the head with a golf club, leaving her bleeding.
The injured woman ran back to the main house, prompting Wandi, Ntombifuthi, and another sister, who was reportedly a Grade 11 student, to confront Linda. During the altercation, one of the women allegedly stabbed him, leading to his death before paramedics could intervene.
Legal Proceedings Underway
While the minor involved in the incident has since been released, Wandi, her mother, and Ntombifuthi remain behind bars at Sun City Prison, pending further police investigation.
So far, there has been no official statement from the South African Police Service (SAPS), but the case has caused widespread shock in the Katlehong community and beyond.
Community Reactions and Viral Audio
The story has gripped social media after a voice note allegedly recorded by Wandi’s aunt and eyewitness began circulating online, further fueling speculation and debate around the incident.
Linda, believed to be the family’s breadwinner, had been financially supporting relatives while residing in a backroom at the home. In a twist to the unfolding saga, sources say Wandi had recently returned from Nigeria claiming she was married and had funded the construction of the house where the altercation occurred.
