Former ‘Generations’ Actress Nambitha Mpumlwana Allegedly Arrested for Stealing at Dischem

 Former ‘Generations’ Actress Nambitha Mpumlwana Allegedly Arrested for Stealing at Dischem


Former Generations actress Nambitha Mpumlwana, best known for her role as Mawande Memela, has sparked controversy after allegations of her arrest for theft at a Dischem pharmacy in Ferndale Mall. The beloved TV star reportedly walked out with a lipstick worth R160, leading to her being taken into police custody.


Nambitha Mpumlwana’s Alleged Arrest


According to reports, Nambitha Mpumlwana was apprehended by police after Dischem management insisted on involving authorities. The actress allegedly claimed there was a misunderstanding, but she was later released on R1,000 bail. She appeared in court on 20 March, and the case was postponed to 2 May, when she will plead guilty or not guilty.

An anonymous policeman spoke to Sunday World, confirming the incident and stating that the actress cooperated with authorities.


Mixed Reactions from Mzansi

The news of Nambitha’s alleged arrest left fans in disbelief, with many defending the actress and questioning the validity of the claims. Some pointed out the irony of her being accused of theft while starring in a series titled Soft Life.

Here’s what some netizens had to say:

  • @SthembiD: “Unbelievable.”

  • @tbolicious_tbo: “Lies!”

  • @Thembalihle: “These are just lies.”

  • @IsaacMbongela: “No ways! Why would a premium actress be acting so low? Unbelievable.”

  • @LeboSpeaks: “The irony of her show being called ‘Soft Life’ 😭.”

  • @ThulaniMah71263: “Haibo, this can't be true. I'm scared to believe it; this is a dignified lady.”

  • @MissBusiN: “Never! She was framed!”

Maggie Benedict’s Shoplifting Scandal

This incident is not the first time a Generations actress has been accused of theft. In 2013, Maggie Benedict, who played Akhona on the show, was arrested for allegedly stealing Panado worth R17.90. She was later acquitted of the charges in 2015.

Maggie has since maintained a low profile, with minimal social media presence, and has gone on to have a successful international acting career, appearing in shows like The Good Doctor and Random Acts of Flyness.

Despite the controversy, Nambitha Mpumlwana remains a beloved figure in the entertainment industry. The actress received an outpouring of love from fans on her 58th birthday on 12 February.

Famously known for her roles in Generations and The Cry of Winnie Mandela, Nambitha continues to be celebrated for her talent and contributions to South African television.
