Former Idols South Africa season 13 runner-up Mthokozisi Ndaba was granted R500 bail by the Ntuzuma Magistrate's Court on Monday, 16 March 2026. He had spent a night in custody following his arrest on charges of assault. The arrest is reportedly linked to a domestic incident.
According to verified reports, Ndaba is facing significant personal and financial difficulties. He is currently dealing with eviction proceedings from his home and is also navigating a divorce from his wife, Zanele Ndaba. The singer has publicly expressed distress over his situation.
Ndaba rose to fame in 2018 after his powerful performances on the singing competition. His career has since faced challenges, and these recent legal and personal troubles mark a difficult period for the artist. The case has been postponed for further investigation.
