THE TS Galaxy star handed himself over at the Bramley cop shop in Joburg on Tuesday, 21 November.

This after his ex-girlfriend opened a case of attempted rape, malicious damage to property and domestic violence against him on Saturday, 11 November.

The soccer player is being investigated by the police.

The star, who has also played for Orlando Pirates and SuperSport United, is alleged to have attempted to rape his ex-girlfriend at her home in Sandton, north of Joburg on the same day the case was opened.

The 31-year-old woman, who is an online teacher, spoke to Daily Sun about her ordeal, allegedly at the hands of the veteran player.

She claimed that she met the man in 2021 and they became friends before trying out a romantic relationship.

"Our relationship didn’t work out and we became friends again. So, when I came back from Bloemfontein on Saturday, 11 November, he offered to pick me up from the airport. When we arrived home, he helped me carry my luggage into my apartment and out of the blue he tried to force himself on me. He followed me into my bedroom and pushed me onto the bed.


"I was saved by the clothes I had left on my bed when I was packing for the trip to Bloemfontein. When he tried to remove the clothes from the bed, I ran out of the bedroom," she said.

The teary woman claimed she sat down on the couch in her lounge and the player followed her and allegedly begged her to have sex with her.

When she refused, the man saw red, allegedly took her iPhone 13 and smashed it against the wall in anger.

"Then he went into my bedroom and destroyed my laptop. That's when I realised he was going to kill me next and I ran out of the house," she said.

The woman claimed she reported the matter to security, who quickly called for armed backup.

"He jumped into his car and drove away. The security guards also called the police, who arrived in no time. I then opened a case.

"Now I can’t work because I teach online. My students are in countries like Germany and Brazil, and this has been a stressful week. He must pay for what he did to me. I want my property back and I want him arrested.

"He needs to learn to understand that a no is a no. I don’t know why he got so angry. We are not together,” she said.

In a shocking twist, the player claimed that the woman was his wife.

"She's my wife. I'm not aware about any police case," he said.

When asked when they got married and whether they stayed together, he declined to comment further and ended the call.

Gauteng police spokesman Lieutenant-Colonel Mavela Masondo confirmed the incident.

"As per the case number provided, the police can confirm that a case of attempted rape and malicious damage to property has been opened at Bramley Police Station. No arrests have yet been made. The investigation is ongoing," Masondo said.
