During the interview, Mthembu briefly opened up about his sister’s tragic passing, admitting that he is still struggling to come to terms with the loss. “To be honest, I haven’t healed from my sister’s passing. I tried, but I haven’t forgiven the perpetrator. It is something that I am constantly evading,” shared the actor.

The actor shared that his sister, who worked in the police force, was shot by an ex-boyfriend at her office. “Her co-workers allowed him in because they were dating from college. He shot my sister and then killed himself,” he said.
