Mamelodi Sundowns footballer Thembinkosi Lorch is under fire after a video surfaced of him celebrating his team's recent league title win. The video, which shows Lorch partying with two women, has sparked significant backlash online.
During an Instagram Live session, Lorch was seen dancing and embracing two women at what appeared to be a house party. The trio seemed to be under the influence of alcohol, which has led to mixed reactions from fans and the public.
Recent Break-Up with Natasha Thahane
This controversy follows a personal change for Lorch earlier this year. In January, he transferred from Orlando Pirates to Mamelodi Sundowns. After the move, he and actress Natasha Thahane, with whom he shares a two-year-old son, announced their separation. In a February Instagram post, Thahane stated that they had mutually decided to part ways but would continue to co-parent and remain friends.
“Thembinkosi Lorch and I have mutually decided to part ways romantically. Despite the change in our relationship, we will remain friends and co-parents. I am looking forward to this new chapter of my life. #NewBeginnings,” Thahane wrote.

Despite his on-field success, Lorch has faced criticism from fans following the release of the party video. The 30-year-old, known for his luxurious lifestyle, has been the subject of scrutiny for his off-field behaviour. Fans expressed their disappointment on social media, voicing concerns about his future and professional conduct.
After joining Sundowns, Lorch has been under the guidance of coach Rhulani Mokwena, who has high expectations for the player. Since his transfer, Lorch has scored twice in 10 matches. The former PSL Player of the Year arrived at Sundowns with great anticipation, and his off-field activities continue to attract attention.
