A Twitter user by the name of Refliwe Maleka, alleges that the actor was driving under the influence of liquor when the accident occurred. She claims Macheru rammed a vehicle and attempted to flee the scene of the accident. He caused more damage as he apparently hit her car while he was reversing
The Twitter user says she was travelling with her 6 month old twins but luckily they were not injured. Refilwe shared videos of the accident scene with her Mazda damaged and Macheru's car damaged.
She called him out for drinking and driving. "This man was drunk AF at 16:00 in the afternoon. Hit a man's car and the passenger was injured. He hit my car while trying to flee the scene. I was with my 6 month old twins. He still tried to leave before the police arrived.," tweeted @The_RefRee
According to her, the actor did not cooperate with her insurance company. She says she had to pay for the damages but the actor has not done anything. It appears that Macheru's car was severely damaged and it is not insured.

It was also recently reported that Reece Madlisa and Zuma were involved in a car accident. This left their fans concerned but speaking to Daily Sun, their manager Archie Basile confirmed to the paper that indeed the duo were not in the vehicle at the time of the accident. It was their driver who was in the car when the accident occurred and thankfully he was safe and came out unscathed.
“Our bus was in an accident, not us. The driver was in the car alone, but he’s not hurt. Reece and Zuma were not in the car. He was leaving his house to come and fetch us when the accident happened. I know people are worried, but we are all fine, no one was hurt,” Basile said in the statement.
