Amapiano star Duduzile Ngwenya, popularly known as Lady Du, revealed she was robbed while trying to assist an alleged fake gender-based violence victim.
Detailing her ordeal on Twitter, Lady Du told her fans about a mystery woman who allegedly scammed her along with her associates and took off with her personal belongings.
Lady Du said she went to the ATM to withdraw cash for the lady who pretended she needed cash for her struggling children when she was ambushed and robbed.
“Be careful at ATMs,” tweeted the star.
“I was helping a lady that was crying her eyes out, said her husband hit her she needs money for her school kids.
“I went to draw I don’t carry cash (and) the next thing some guys snatched my wallet and belongings. When I looked to speak to the woman she wasn’t there.”
