Media personality Somizi Mhlongo has been forced to delete a picture on his Instagram after fans realised he was faking a chat with the late producer Mbongeni Ngema.
Ngema produced Sarafina, a movie in which Somizi was a main character.
In a move that appears more like attention seeking than sympathy, Somizi alleged that Ngema thanked him for standing with him, probably assisting him financially.
Neither Somizi nor Ngema had spoken about the assistance before the later’s death.
Upon sharing the screenshot, fans were quick to realise it was actually Somizi who typed the message and sent it. He did not waste time in deleting as fans outed him in the comments.
The message read, “Good evening Mhlongo. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for what you did for me when I was at my lowest ebb. Without any provocation or me asking for help you extended your hand towards me. You are the only one of all the hundreds of my children who stepped forward for me. This has gone to the deepest and innermost of my being.
Ngiyabonga Mhlongo. You have proved beyond any reasonable doubt that I today stand in the shoes of Ndaba.”
