Andile's 4-year-old son allegedly shot himself by accident.

"I stayed with him for two years and he has never been harmed. He is a child, when he plays he would sometimes fall or scratch himself. But I never thought I would see him in the hospital like this," she says.

"It is alleged that on Sunday 2019-12-15 at approximately 22:50, a 35-year-old man was with the boy and his mother when he left his firearm in a bag and placed it on the TV cabinet and went outside to his vehicle," captain Masondo wrote in a statement. Andile’s best friend Thabo Gwadiso also flew to Israel when he heard the news that Andile had collapsed on set.
