"In my culture which is the Tsonga, it is not allowed for Bongani to attend AKA's funeral since he married his baby mama."

"Yes, in Sepedi we also follow the same cultural rule. You can't attend the funeral of your wife's ex, it is not allowed."

"DJ Zinhle wasn't supposed to go there herself. It's Pedi culture, she and Murdah weren't supposed to go there but Zulu culture is different I guess."

yandaworld added:

"It's our African culture, one which says a man can't bury his ex coz he will follow suit. One that says you can go to the funeral, but don't eat. One which says makoti can't bury her babazala. These things are there, it just depends on how deep one is in to culture. I just don't think this was supposed to be announced."
