What the High Court order in the Blue Mbombo and Thami Ndlala case actually says
Blue Mbombo alleges threats from Thami Ndlala, who denies them. Here's what the recent urgent High Court order does and doesn't say.
The Gauteng High Court issued an urgent protection order on Saturday, 3 October, in the case of Blue Mbombo against businessman Thami Ndlala and media company Media24. The order, issued under Case No. 2026-244369, addresses allegations made by Mbombo that she faced death threats, verbal abuse, and emotional torment from Ndlala over several months.
Mbombo claimed Ndlala had also hired individuals to intimidate her and threatened her child. She sought an interim protection order to prevent the publication of these allegations, which she feared could damage her child's safety and well-being. Ndlala's legal team responded, categorically denying the accusations, stating they would address the claims through appropriate legal channels.
The court order, issued under Uniform Rule 6(12), calls for an interdict (legal order) against Mbombo requiring her to stop publishing or reposting the disputed allegations within 24 hours of service. Media24 and Ndlala's media representative, Amos Mananyetso, are also interdicted from publishing or republishing the alleged statements as facts.
The order allows service through email and WhatsApp due to the anticipated publication on 4 October. Any respondent can request to vary or discharge the interim relief within five days of the return date. Costs of the urgent hearing remain reserved. The court did not find Mbombo's allegations false, but rather, it sought to prevent their immediate and potentially harmful dissemination.
