Zakes Bantwini faced criticism from social media users for indirectly announcing the death of Dr. Mbongeni Ngema. On Wednesday evening, the music producer posted a cryptic tweet alluding to the loss of a prominent figure, saying, “Noooo man not again,” without disclosing the identity.
This vague message sparked a wave of inquiries and frustration from followers who accused him of keeping the information under wraps.
Tweeps expressed their discontent, stating that the tweet lacked context and urging Zakes Bantwini to refrain from such suspenseful announcements.
One user, in particular, conveyed appreciation for the artist but emphasized the need to stop this practice as it left people speculating about the identity of the deceased.
Shortly after the controversial tweet, it was revealed that the renowned musician, actor, and producer, Dr. Mbongeni Ngema, had tragically passed away in a car accident on Wednesday evening.
But then, would fans be happy if Bantwini had taken the matters into his own hands by announcing the death before the Ngema family confirmed it? We’ve seen this movie before (Zizi Kodwa) where celebs/ministers announce deaths before the family of the deceased gets the chance, why are people angry at Bantwini for respecting the Ngema family?
