Amanda Manku says she was forced to come to terms with her father orchestrating the murders of her mom and grandmom.
The actress confirmed the arrests of three suspects in January 2024 for the murders of her mom, Galdys Manku and her grandmother Lettie Maphuthuma who were shot and killed on 04 May 2021 at Makgophong Village, Zebediela.
According to The South African, Amanda addressed the question about her father orchestrating the murders and said she has no other option but to be strong.
Amanda took to a Q&A session on her Instagram and responded that there’s a lot going on in her personal life.
“This question, I think it requires one to dig deep in. I am okay. I think a lot is going on in my personal life right now that if I was not strong, it could get me down, but I don’t have that option.
Unfortunately, I don’t have the option to be weak. I don’t have the privilege of being weak. I have to be strong.
There are some hectic things that I think a lot of people know about that have been in the limelight. Particularly losing my parents and the aftermath of that but other than that we move.”
Amanda’s father, William Manku, a police captain, confessed to the murders in an affidavit and sought bail which was denied.
He, along with his girlfriend Nonhlahla Ngubo and David Khoza were arrested in January on charges of conspiracy to commit murder, attempted murder, two counts of murder, defeating the ends of justice, and robbery with aggravated circumstances.
Ngubo was released on bail while Manku and Khoza remain in custody.
The matter is expected to resume back in court this month.
