Iyoh guys, things just got deadly serious out here. Buhle Samuels’ estranged husband, Thando Sonqishe, has been shot and killed in what is looking like a targeted hit in Midrand. The actress and Thando never officially divorced — they only separated — and now the man she once married in secret is gone, just like that. IYOH.

The two were famously linked back in May 2022, when footage of their ultra-private wedding surfaced online and sent social media into a complete frenzy.

Guests were allegedly instructed to switch off their phones — and honestly sis, we now understand why this man was not playing about his privacy. Wedding vibes with full phone ban? Gangster and heist rumours! Hayi, that should have been a red flag right there, bathong.

Buhle Samuels’ Estranged Husband Hit

The actual shooting went down like something out of an action movie — and absolutely none of it is okay. Four people were travelling inside a Toyota vehicle at the entrance to the Blue Valley Golf & Country Estate on Thursday, 28 May, in Midrand when two unknown suspects pulled up on motorbikes like absolute cold-blooded professionals.

The suspects dismounted, opened fire on the car without hesitation, and then sped off into the night. Sis, at a GOLF ESTATE. On MOTORBIKES. Yoh, SA is truly a movie.

Two of the four occupants did not survive. Thando Sonqishe was the front passenger and was declared dead at the scene. The driver — none other than the one and only Oscar Nyathi, famously known as Oscar Baxx, one half of the beloved DJ duo Malumz on Decks — was also killed on the spot.

Angeke! This one is going to hurt the music community deeply as this isn’t the first DJ to die in this manner. The two remaining occupants survived but were rushed to hospital with injuries.

And just when you thought Thando’s story could not get any more complicated — here is the extra layer we did not ask for but absolutely must discuss.

After their marriage fell apart, Buhle Samuels reportedly moved on with Asavela Mqokiyana’s husband, which led to that very public divorce drama. The girl truly never lived a boring chapter — but nothing, and we mean absolutely nothing, could have prepared anyone for a chapter ending like this.
