Tension flared at the funeral of beloved Maskandi artist Scebi Dlamini on Saturday, 15 August 2026, when Khuzani Mpungose visibly refused to shake Ngizwe Mchunu's hand, turning what was meant to be a solemn farewell into a moment that has set social media alight.
Scebi Dlamini, affectionately known as Inkosi Yama Gcokama, was laid to rest at Mzisho Stadium in uMsinga, KwaZulu-Natal, after tragically dying in a car crash in Richards Bay on Sunday, 2 August 2026. Hundreds gathered to pay their respects to the celebrated artist, but it was the offstage drama between two prominent figures that dominated the conversation.
Ngizwe Mchunu fires back at Khuzani after handshake snub
Footage captured at the event shows the moment Khuzani declined to shake Ngizwe's outstretched hand. Ngizwe, clearly stung by the public slight, did not hold back. He confronted Khuzani directly, saying, "ungangidakelwa mina mfana wami, nginguyihlo mfana wami, angeke ungcwatshwe ngingekho" — loosely translated, he claimed a senior position in Khuzani's life, suggesting Khuzani would not even be properly buried without his presence.
