In the world of social media, it seems like there’s always someone ready to stir up controversy and throw shade.
The recent passing of veteran playwright Mbongeni Ngema has brought out one such fan, who took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to share their less-than-sympathetic thoughts.
The fan, who goes by the handle @Fiireee__, claimed that Ngema had abused the talented actress Leleti Khumalo, known for her role in the popular TV show Imbewu: The Seed. They even went so far as to suggest that his death was not something to be sad about. Talk about kicking someone when they’re down.
He abused Leleti Khumalo so nothing to be sad about here https://t.co/9yYN3MMt72

Of course, this tweet didn’t go unnoticed. People flooded the comment section, expressing their disbelief and disappointment.
One user, @Prettienesss, pointed out that Khumalo has always spoken highly of Ngema, which makes the fan’s claims hard to believe. Another user, @MPowerRSA, simply advised the fan to keep quiet if they didn’t have anything meaningful to contribute.
While it’s important to remember that everyone is entitled to their own opinion, it’s also important to show respect, especially when someone has just passed away. As @McShandoo put it, “Respect the dead and stop embarrassing yourself here.”

Some users even questioned the credibility of the fan’s claims, asking if Khumalo had ever pressed charges against Ngema.
Others, like @kay_khethiwe, added fuel to the fire by suggesting that Ngema had also given Khumalo HIV. These accusations only serve to further divide and create unnecessary drama.
In times like these, it’s important to remember that nobody is perfect. Yes, Ngema may have had his flaws, but let’s allow him to rest in peace. As @MavoWorld wisely said, “He wasn’t perfect, but let’s let him rest, bandla.”
Let’s focus on celebrating the life and achievements of Mbongeni Ngema, rather than engaging in petty arguments and spreading negativity. After all, life is too short to waste on unnecessary drama.
