Ricardo and his girlfriend Zodwa Wabantu recently hogged the news headlines following an altercation that saw police intervening.
According to City Press the two were involved in an altercation after Ricardo went out with his friends and finished the money Zodwa had given him. He was left with no cash to pay for his Uber driver.
Apparently he told the Uber driver that Zodwa would pay for the ride but she denied. The publication further alleges that he threatened Zodwa and “forcefully demanded money from her.”
Zodwa then tried to get the police to intervene so she went to the Douglasdale Police Station, as the publication puts it, for “gender-based violence concerns.”
“She came to the station asking police to help her as she was afraid that her boyfriend might physically harm her. So, the police went to her residential area and managed to calm the situation down. Later the boyfriend’s family was called and they apologised to Zodwa, telling her that he is not a violent person,” said a police officer to the publication.
