However, Bantu Holomisa seemed to have made a mistake with his tweet by adding a link to an article about Shona Ferguson, The South African reports. Peeps accused him of using the late actor's name and picture to seek relevance.
@eastsidelouw replied:
"Using Shona Ferguson for clout just because you want attention for your brief hospital stay is top tier disrespect to the Ferguson Family. Off all Milpark Hospital patients - you, Bantu Holomisa, saw it reasonable to use someone else’s unfortunates for attention. SIES!"

"Be clear with us Bantu Holomisa, are you saying Pfizer Covid19 Vaccine is the main reason behind Shona Ferguson's death and you'd urge the citizens to stop taking the poison, we need clarity here."
