Not many get to live to see about their own obituary. But movie star Lwazi Madonsela has had the misfortune to be alive and yet watch many web platforms peddle the news of his death.
Rumour of his death had gone viral, and even Moja Love, with which he’s associated, carried the new. Some fans mourned his. And some were still mourning his when, well, Lwazi resurfaced.
The Umndeni star had popped on a new episode on channel 157. His appearance had peeps scampering as they thought he was a ghost. Well, Lwazi was no ghost.
In a twist to the death tale, it was reported that it was Malwandle who died, not Lwazi. And this has viewers more confused than ever.
However, for most viewers, the news that Lwazi was alive was enough. They can breathe easy now and look forward to more acting chops.
By the way, Lwazi is but one of several public figures in South Africa to be alive yet get to hear the news of their obituaries. Another notable figure is the kwaito veteran Zola 7.
According to some people, to be alive and yet hear news of one’s obituary is a sign one would live long. Hopefully, that’s the case with Lwazi.
