South Africans respond to Sengadi's post
@SdonaG reacted:
"4 months before he killed himself, he was crying out for help on Instagram about you. He called you his ex-wife. You tormented Jabba. You didn’t love him. He was in deep depression at this point in his life. You were out of his life. To come here and pretend is disingenuous😢."
@Thulaganyo_G commented:
"We lost a genuine king, because of some random girl whose name will remain with her, smh."
@NKOSi_4c replied:
"So basically you are telling us that you are not dating anyone, nje? You haven't healed? You haven't moved on?"
@UselessCyril said:
"Is your guilty conscience eating you up?"

"So, he had to die for you to come back to his life?"
@ShandookieLTC responded:
"It’s time to get married. You never got married from the time I watched you shower on Big Brother years ago as a little boy?"
@tshireee said:
"This is unrelated. Approaching the courts to validate your customary marriage contributed to the development of the recognition of customary marriages in South Africa🔥."
@mathopa_robert commented:
"Ocho gore otlo e bona tweet ena vele? (Are you saying Jabba will see this tweet?) Or ne obatla sympathy?" (Or were you looking for sympathy?)
@Kutlo_8601 replied:
"Was he talking about you on Nkatumela, if I may ask?"
@JasonKhumalo3rd said:
"It's hard to believe that Jabba was depressed and attempted suicide multiple times before finally ending his life."

"This is like HIV/AIDS missing the body host it killed."
@zenzo99815279 responded:
"Gold digger left Jabba's son with nothing."
@TruthTeller_99 replied:
"If clinging to fame through a dead ex-husband was a person."

HHP’s son Leano resembles the late star
In more entertainment news, Briefly News previously reported that social media users were at a loss for words when they came across pictures of the late HHP's son, Leano.
The young lad could easily be mistaken for his legendary father, as he looks like Jabba's clone.
Peeps said Leano needs to venture into music and carry the name of his late father forward.
