Popular South African actress Nompilo Maphumulo‘s family has been left traumatized by false reports of her death.
The rumours claimed she was shot by gunmen while in her car in Joburg.
Nompilo expressed her shock upon hearing the news, which she learnt about from concerned people who contacted her to verify its authenticity.
“I was shocked and even pinched myself to prove that I wasn’t a ghost. How can someone go so far as to claim that a person is dead while they are alive? And the worst part, the news said that I was ambushed by gunmen. That’s insane, and I’m angry over this,” said Nompilo, who is known for her roles on Uzalo and Generations: The Legacy.
“Why would I be killed by izinkabi? Do I have enemies? No, I don’t. I don’t know even one gunman. So why would someone report such fabricated news? This has traumatized my family. I had to explain to them and tried to calm them down. This has caused enough damage.”
Nompilo has urged people to verify news before believing it, highlighting the distress that misinformation can cause to people and their families.
