Somizi Mhlongo
Somizi Mhlongo explains himself following the accusation of sending a fake Mbongeni Ngema’s text to himself.
Following the death of the theater legend, the media personality mourned the passing of his mentor and shared a screenshot of the text received from the deceased a few days before the fatal accident occurred.
Somizi shared a video on Tuesday, on his Instagram account and explained the mistake that happened.
“There is a group called Mbongeni Tribute, a group that we’ve had for the past five years. It’s all the cast members in that group. When I heard about the passing, we were talking in the group and I was telling the group that he just sent me a message like this a few days ago and I wanted to share it with them,” he said.
“I sent the same message not realising that it is a message that looks like I have sent myself to Mbongeni. I hope you get it and I am never going to explain this again. And I get why there was a huge uproar and I am not the type. I was just sharing how special this message was and how amazing that it happened a few days before he passed on.
“That was the mistake … whether you believe it or you don’t, I explained it. Whoever was swearing at me, is justifiable … here’s the explanation, take or don’t take it, we have to move on. I wish I could wake buti Mbongeni to tell you he’s the one who sent the message before he passed, but, believes or you don’t that’s your problem. I didn’t want it to outshine my mourning process because the funeral is on Friday and I wanted to get it over and done with.”
