A SHAKA Ilembe star's sister, together with her boyfriend, are expected to appear in court.
The 40-year-old will appear in the Pinetown Magistrates Court on Monday, 19 February, after she was arrested with her boyfriend (34) on Sunday, 18 February.
The two face assault charges after the boyfriend was caught on camera assaulting a three-month pregnant woman at a Durban mall on Thursday, 15 February.
In the video, the boyfriend can be seen assaulting the pregnant woman with bare hands. Security guards can be seen holding the tall man beating up the helpless pregnant woman.

It's still unclear what led to the fight, but on Facebook she posted a photo where she shows that she was bitten on her boob. Apparently, she was bitten by the woman who was seen being assaulted by her boyfriend.
After the video circulated on social media, KZN Social Development MEC Nonhlanhla Khoza said a team of cops successfully tracked down a man seen brutally assaulting a three-month pregnant woman in a video doing the rounds on social media.
MEC Khoza mobilised a team of social workers to support the victim and engage police leadership to prioritise the case.
She said both suspects are currently in police custody, with investigations into the assault ongoing.
Khoza thanked members of the public for their solidarity and support for the victim and her family during the harrowing ordeal.
“The assault on the vulnerable woman is an affront to humanity and decency. Such horrendous acts have no place in our society, and those responsible must face the full might of the law. We demand swift justice and are pleased that the police acted swiftly in arresting the suspects in less than 48 hours,” she said.
