The lady revealed secrets that raised eyebrows as she did not hold back her words. She spoke about some problems in her relationship with her late husband and explained:

“I was not married to an angel; I also am not one.”

Mourners were entertained at the funeral as though they had been summoned to a satisfactory gossip session. The video was posted on TikTok two days ago and received over 215K views.

Widow opens up life with late husband at his funeral

The Xhosa widow claimed that her late husband was a cheater. She backed up her claims by sharing some information that she had been collecting during their time together.

The woman remembered that in the early stages of her late husband’s infidelity, he would get random calls that he would answer outside. One day, she took his phone and went through his messages.

The lady found a strange contact saved as ‘Mamomncinci’ (second wife). She remembered how in love the pair were through reading their endless conversations on the phone:

“He would get a lot of calls at the most awkward hours. The other lady would ask about his trip back home after he told me he had regional meetings to attend.”

The widow wondered if the other woman was at the funeral and made a shout-out to her, just in case she was hiding in the crowd of mourners. South Africans loved the woman’s honest tribute and reshared the now-viral video over 3.5 times.

“It's a blessing to marry a faithful man when it's time to grieve, you grieve with no horror movie playing on your heart and head . She's trying to sweep her heart before grieving.”

“I have always said that we should also normalise telling the truth in these memorial services we organise, because it can't be nice things only and then incline on narrative to say we don't talk ill of the dead. We must talk about everything we know about the deceased.”
