The secret vat-en-sit relationship between former boxing champion Dingaan Thobela and his new girlfriend suffered a fatal blow after she allegedly accused him of mistaking her body for a punching bag.

Sana Ncwane kicked the divorced Thobela out of her apartment in Joburg after he allegedly moered her in one of their acrimonious lovers' tiffs.

The jilted Thobela, known as the "Rose of Soweto" during his heydays, allegedly retaliated by confiscating the keys to her condo and ignored her several pleas to hand them back.

Thobela allegedly promised to return the keys this week after Ncwane vowed to finger him as a suspect should there be a break-in at the townhouse.

The startling tidbits were revealed by one of the couple's friend, who did not want to be named, saying their relationship started like a house on fire but was now history.

"She has been keeping quiet about this because she loves him and wanted to protect him as he is a respected businessman. But this time she will spill the beans because he has been refusing to hand over the house keys to her. She is gatvol and tired of him," said the friend.
