MBALI NGIBA’S OUTBURST

In the viral video, the former Durban Gen actress can be seen aggressively pointing her fingers at the guard and banging the reception desk while hurling insults at him.

“With a f*cken R4 000 salary you think you are everything. You are sleeping here because of us.

“Who do you think you are? Security that does not even earn much, you do not even have matric, ” Ngiba can be heard screaming.

THE APOLOGY

Taking to her Instagram account to apologise, Ngiba blamed her behaviour on the alcohol.

“When we got into the hotel, we didn’t know we’d require a code to leave, and the person we came with had already left, so we got stuck and were unable to leave the hotel. I tried to reason with the security guard to open for us because of the situation we were in. When I tried talking to him, the security guard started having an attitude and just looked at us for an hour. Then I think there was something he said to me and I then lost it and used words that I shouldn’t have,” she said. 

“We were getting hot and couldn’t breathe because there was no air-conditioning. So we asked him to at least open for us so we could stand outside while trying to resolve the situation. It has been some time now so I don’t remember properly, but the brother did not speak properly with me.”

Ngiba further apologised for her outburst, adding that she does not look down on people.

“I would like to apologise to the security officer, I stepped on his toes, as well as to those who know me. Know that I am not one to look down upon other people,” she said

“I have disappointed my fans, I know that you did not expect that from me because you had never seen that side of me.”

MBALI NGIBA SUGGESTS SHE WAS SABOTAGED

The Ngizwide singer, who will not be part of the fourth season of RHOD, further alluded to being sabotaged.

“There is a show I was shooting and it clashed with something I had always wanted to do. I had to choose.

“I know the people who were behind this [recording and circulation of the video], even though I will not be mentioning names.

“It is not by accident that one day a video of myself would be posted and then the following day a new cast for that show gets announced.

“It is painful that they are pushing their work with stunts.”
