Rebecca Malope issued a statement regarding the incident that ensued between her and Lindelani Mkhize at Zanele Mbokazi’s funeral.
In a video that surfaced on social media, the gospel singer was cut shot during a performance by Lindelani; social media users were disappointed at Mkhize’s bahaviour and dragged him for being disrespectful.
Taking to Facebook, Rebecca set the record straight; she said it wasn’t Lindelani’s fault as he was only following instructions as he MC of the event.
“South Africa, my beautiful family, thank you so much for all your love and concern. UMama Wenu (your mother) is 100% fine. My performance was cut short because of the time limitations caused by the strict schedule and protocol that we all had to follow. It was not anyone’s fault. I am fine. Lindelani Mkhize and I have been colleagues for many years, and we share deep respect for each other. He was not at fault at all; he was just doing his job,” Malope said.
