Nonhle Thema embroiled in 'nightclub spat'

Sowetan is reporting that the TV personality narrowly escaped a club brawl in Botswana after allegedly making some very controversial comments.

Besties Khanyi Mbau and Nonhle were in the neighbouring country after being invited by the Cigar Lounge Club at the Phakalane Resort. And, judging from the snaps the girls had a blast.

However, sources told the  newspaper that they overheard Nonhle make some insulting comments about Botswana women. The source revealed that Nonhle apparently borrowed one of her escourt's phone and was overheard describing Botswana girls as "skinny, ugly and infected with Aids."

The source said that at first they didn't take her comments seriously until she made reference to Aids. "I knew that if the rest of the ladies in the club heard that she would have left with bruises," said the source.

Apparently Nonhle was also mean and behaved like a "diva."

Nonhle, however, denied these allegations. She explained that she was speaking to her boyfriend, who was overseas and was playing the jealous girlfriend by making comments about the girls there.

"I was on the phone and talking to my boyfriend who was out of the country at the time, I was telling him about the girls where he was, I was just being a jealous girlfriend," Nonhle told the newspaper.
