The family of the late kwaito star, Mapaputsi, is reaching out to the public with a heartfelt plea for privacy during this difficult time.
After the star passed away following an illness, the Ngwenya family says they are overwhelmed with grief and just want to mourn in peace, without the added drama of friends acting like vultures.
In a twist that adds an unwelcome layer of chaos, reports indicate there have been some disturbing allegations swirling around the so-called “friends” of Mapaputsi. Word on the street is that these individuals have attempted to pull off some low-key extortion tricks on the grieving family. Can you believe it?
As if on cue, one so-called friend actually held Mapaputsi’s body for ransom! This alleged “helper” persuaded the family to let him retrieve their beloved from the morgue, only to demand a staggering R50,000 for his services. Talk about taking advantage of a vulnerable moment!
The shocking news has left Mzansi in disbelief. Social media is buzzing with reactions, and users are not holding back.
One user, @ms_tourist, humorously quipped about the bizarre turn of events. Meanwhile, others are echoing the sentiments of Mapaputsi’s family, recognizing that mourning should never come with strings attached.
