Khanyi Mbau suffers meltdown

BAD Girl Khanyisile Mbau's hectic lifestyle has finally caught up with her.

Yesterday the queen of bling collapsed and was rushed to a private clinic after allegedly suffering a nervous breakdown.

Mbau, who has suffered a string of setbacks and embarrassing publicity recently, screamed and had a fit while having breakfast with her best friend, Mbali Maphumulo, according to a source.

Mbau has been living with Maphumulo since her former sugar daddy, Theunis Crous, dumped her and evicted her from their love nest in up-market Hyde Park and allegedly repossessed her BMW Z4.

According to a source close to Mbau her family is blaming Crous and the media for her nervous breakdown.

"Her mother feels Theunis and the media are responsible for what is happening. She blames him for taking everything from Khanyi," the informant said.

"She seemed as if she was taking the recent bad publicity in her stride - until this happened. We were all surprised when we learnt that she had suffered a nervous breakdown. The things that were said about her were very hectic."

Last week Crous accused Mbau of practising witchcraft. He posed for our sister publication Sunday World with what he claimed were Mbau's muthi.  READ ABOUT IT HERE

The source said Mbau, who kept a dignified silence after that story, was considering suing Crous, but Crous dismissed the whole thing as a publicity stunt.

The source said: "What was she thinking when she dated a married man? This woman is crazy. She might be trying to get attention. She is fine.

"Khanyi can never have a nervous breakdown but she can cause one for somebody. It is impossible that she is sick. She was partying up a storm with Ghanaian players not so long ago."

Mbau's manager, Linda Mokoetsi, confirmed that Mbau was admitted to a private clinic and that she was doing fine.

"The doctor said she had mild depression due to anxiety. The medic said she would be discharged tomorrow (today).

"Khanyi told me she was stressing from all the bad things Theunis said. She doesn't understand why a man who said he loved her is saying all these things."
