"They share think pieces on your content because you're a content creator. They did the same to other content creators. They do not understand. Just like how they don't know the difference between you and an influencer."

Weza Weziie Tonono replied:

"Please show the child's face, I'm sure he or she is cute. Plus, I have met you in person, and you have a kind heart. All the naysayers must leave you alone."

Nontsebenzo Xhego said:

"If 'I have eyes and ears everywhere' was a person. Now he's setting the record straight. Now, we must ask them who they got this information from?"

Mandisi Tshingana's death hoax

In a previous report from Briefly News, after news circulated that Mandisi Tshingana had died, his sister, Olwethu Olo Tshingana, publicly dismissed the rumours on her Facebook page.

"Lies, uphile qete (he's alive and well), she replied to a memorial service poster which had gone viral.

This was started when the 30-year-old content creator announced that he would take a break from social media to focus on personal matters that "required his full attention." "While the details are private, we ask for your understanding and respect for the family's need for space during this time. We remain hopeful that Mandisi will be able to reconnect with his followers soon, bringing his unique voice and creativity back to the digital world."
