Thembinkosi Lorch’s Court Appearance Sparks Questions About His Relationship with Natasha Thahane
Orlando Pirates midfielder Thembinkosi Lorch has recently found himself in the spotlight, and the circumstances of his court appearance have fueled speculation regarding his involvement with actress Natasha Thahane and their alleged child.
Lorch faced the Randburg Magistrate’s Court last week, where he pleaded for a reduced sentence. This followed his conviction in June of assaulting his ex-girlfriend, Fundiswa Nokuphiwa Mathithibala.
Lorch’s relationship with Mathithibala became widely known in September 2020 when reports emerged that he had been arrested for physically assaulting her.
Mathithibala, a fitness enthusiast, revealed to the court in a victim impact statement that their romance began in 2018. They moved in together that same year, and in 2020, they decided to start a family. Mathithibala became pregnant but subsequently suffered a miscarriage.
On the other hand, during Lorch’s plea for a reduced sentence, his legal representative, Pierre de Kock, informed the court that Lorch has two children, aged eight and three. De Kock emphasized the fluctuating nature of Lorch’s soccer player salary, which is roughly around R50,000.
He explained that Lorch sends money to his first child, who resides with their mother in Qwa-Qwa, while he lives with his other child. This information suggests that Lorch may not be the father of Natasha Thahane’s one-year-old son.
Lorch and Thahane’s relationship garnered attention in June 2021 when they were spotted on a romantic getaway in Zanzibar. Although Lorch initially denied their relationship, it became evident that their bond was growing stronger, especially when Thahane posted a heartfelt birthday message for him in July that year.
In March 2022, Thahane made waves on the internet by announcing her pregnancy through an Instagram post. Her son was born the following month. However, Thahane has yet to disclose the identity of her child’s father, leaving fans and onlookers to speculate on the matter
