Last month it was reported that she was attacked at OR Tambo international airport by a group of people who accused her of scamming them. This after a Forex trader used Thandeka's identity to defraud a lot of people of their money.
A source told Sunday World that: “She was at the airport minding her own business when she encountered a group of angry people who got so close to her that they started touching her arms and shoulders, leaving her frightened."
The publication also stated that Thandeka refused to comment on the matter saying she does not want to ruin her brand: “I don’t want to talk about this ordeal, by doing that I will be giving these criminals prominence and relevance at the expense of my name. I don’t want to ruin my brand,” she told the publication.
