Actress Busisiwe Mbatha started dating her cop boyfriend three years ago and everything was great.
But three months later, her boyfriend from Brakpan in Ekurhuleni, allegedly started beating her.
Busisiwe, who’s been trending for being abused by her police boyfriend, talks about some of the incidents that almost lead to her death.
Some might remember her from shows such as The Black Door, The Wife season 1, and Generations.
The police officer from Brakpan was arrested on Wednesday, 8 March after he allegedly tried to beat her again.
“I don’t even remember what we were arguing about, but I was shocked that he just beat me up,” said Busisiwe.
The 33-year-old said the abuse then became the norm whenever they had minor arguments and he would even choke her.
“I’d sometimes miss work because of how badly my body hurt, but I somehow believed we would be okay,” she said.
Busisiwe said she even thought that being beaten was her fault and she stopped talking to her male friends.
But her boyfriend randomly told her that she smelled like she had s.e.x with someone else and beat her up for it.
“He once beat me up after I found out he was cheating on me. Instead of apologizing, he beat me up saying I probably cheat, so why was I confronting him.
“That night, he beat me up until I collapsed. I was bleeding heavily when I woke up and realized I had an open injury on the forehead. I then went on my period for about a month and went to the doctor. I discovered I was pregnant and had miscarried,” she said.
She said her boyfriend once beat her up suspecting she was doing something inappropriate with his friend.
“He beat me up in the car and I got out and walked. I almost got raped by a group of men that night, but I managed to jump a wall fence and ask for help,” said Busisiwe.
“There was a time he beat me up because I was tired. In his head, I was tired because I had s.e.x with someone else. When I had to go to work, he said I was avoiding having s.e.x with him,” he said.
Busisiwe opened a case on 2 August 2022.
The following day, the boyfriend’s family member convinced her to withdraw the case, but the case couldn’t be withdrawn.
“I wanted to drop the charges because I knew this would destroy his career. I just wanted him to learn a lesson and show remorse,” she said.
But her boyfriend allegedly continued to beat her up after he got bail.
Ipid spokeswoman Lizzy Suping said the suspect, who’s now in police custody, is a detective based in Brakpan.
She said the officer was arrested, but released on bail by the Protea Magistrates Court on 2 August 2022. The bail conditions were that he should not be in contact with the victim.
“The woman tried to withdraw the case, but the request was declined by the state. She was informed that gender-based violence and femicide cases cannot be withdrawn,” she said.
The officer will appear in court on 27 March.
“Based on the latest images on social media, IPID has contacted the victim and opened another case against her partner. The new information will be used to apply to the court to revoke his bail,” she said.
