Cape Town – South African actress, TV presenter and fashion designer, Enhle Mbali Mlotshwa has revealed that she is “living in fear” after threats to leak nude pictures of her came from someone unknown.
In November, Enhle took to social media to expose a stalker threatening to leak her “private chats” and “sexy pictures” online.
The Blood Psalms star shared a screenshot of her conversation with the alleged stalker on her Instagram.
“I spoke up last night against the evil and gaslighting that has tormented me into a psych ward, because how dare I recognise #AmaLungelo that women such as Sojourner fought for. All because I fall outside of a cabal! #SonkeSinamaLungelo,” she captioned the now-deleted post.
And the alleged stalker responded saying: “We have the sexy pics you sent each other that will get more views.”
Enhle told TshisaLIVE at the time that she had decided to come out and make her experience known to more people.

She said that sharing the alleged stalker’s messages on social media was her way to show a fraction of what she has suffered in silence for almost five years.
“I have recognised the power social media has and I needed to let my tormentors know through that medium and put them on notice publicly. No-one is above the law, even the ones hiding behind unregistered numbers,” the report quoted Enhle as saying.
According to City Press, the Isibaya actress had since fired a security guard whom she alleged was spying on her.
The report also said that Enhle filed a report with the police after the person threatened to leak her nude pictures on a phone call from an unknown number.
It was alleged that the security guard was passing on information to her distant husband, DJ Black Coffee’s driver.
City Press reported that Enhle said she overheard a conversation between her security guard and someone on the phone.
“I was taking my child to the doctor. As I was exiting my house, I overheard our private security guard telling someone on the phone that ‘she is leaving, she has not left yet, she is taking the kids with her’.

“I then went inside the security booth and I asked him who he is talking to. He didn’t respond to that, so I took the phone and I asked who is this. The man on the other side said: ‘Hi, ma’am. I was told to come and fetch the kids,'” she was quoted as saying.
“I told him that he was not telling the truth because I had emailed the father of my children and he knows that I am taking the kids to a doctor.
“I took the phone and the man called again. I then gave the security guard the phone and I heard the man once again asking: ‘Is she still around.’ So the security guard kept quiet and then the man said: ‘Sezo yi susa ksasa [We will cause havoc tomorrow].'”
Enhle confessed to feeling unsafe around the security guard.
“I have been feeling unsafe, I have been feeling unprotected, I have been feeling vulnerable in many ways …”
“I said I don’t feel safe with this guy here, so I asked the security company to remove him from my house.”
“I went through our security phone. This is our phone in the property that gets used by security [guards]. So, when I got the phone, I realised that there were pictures of my guests, packages for delivery, my mother’s number plates, my number plates, and conversations between the guard and another man,” she was quoted as saying.
“I have opened a criminal case with the police. A crime has not been committed yet, apart from my phone being tapped and we don’t know who tapped it. We have not found that out yet … I went to the police and said I am adding to this document that I have opened and the reason I have opened this docket in the first place is because I previously went on Instagram and said there is someone who keeps leaking stories to the false media,” she reportedly said.
