Natasha Thahane’s recent breakup with Thembinkosi Lorch has sent shockwaves through the Mzansi social media world. But what really caught the attention of fans was the speculation and accusations of physical abuse surrounding their split.
Social media users have been quick to dissect every move and interaction between the former couple. One particular incident that raised eyebrows was Thahane’s liking of a comment suggesting that Lorch had hit her. While this may seem like a small action, it was enough to fuel the fire of speculation.

Adding fuel to the fire was Thahane’s post-breakup Instagram story. The actress also shared a short clip from United States (US) singer Rihanna, wherein she broke her silence about the night her ex-boyfriend and fellow musician, Chris Brown, physically abused her.
In the 2009 ABC News interview, the Barbados-born songtress can be heard saying: “All I kept thinking all the time: When is it going to stop? When it is going to stop?”
Fans analyzed every word, every image, searching for clues about what really happened. It’s amazing how social media users can turn into private investigators overnight!
As with any controversial topic, fans are divided in their opinions. Some are criticizing Thahane for staying with Lorch despite his past legal issues. They argue that she should have known better and taken action sooner.
In November last year, the 30-year-old footballer was handed a three-year direct imprisonment sentence (which was suspended for five years) for assaulting his ex-girlfriend Fundiswa Nokuphiwa Mathithibala in 2020.
On the other hand, there are those who sympathize with Thahane’s situation, understanding that leaving an abusive relationship is not always easy.
