Award-winning veteran actor, Menzi Ngubane‘s family has released a statement on reports of him being sick. This comes after reports that he was critically ill in hospital and the #PrayForMenziNgubane hashtag that’s been at the top of trends lists on social media.
In the statement shared on social media on Menzi’s behalf, his family set the record straight saying in part; “The family is also aware that due to the spread of this inaccurate and unverified news, his fans have even gone as far as sending their messages of his speedy recovery on social media, spawning an unwarranted social media panic.”
The statement continues; “We understand their concerns and support for Menzi, but as the family, we appeal to South Africans to refrain from spreading news that have not been verified and confirmed by the family. To this end, we wish to continue as the family to offer him the support he needs following his recent visit to the doctors. It is this visit that has been grossly exaggerated by newspapers and social media users.”
Menzi’s wife, Sikie, also shared that he is resting at home following a visit to his doctors. She said in part; “I would like to confirm that my husband is receiving family support and recuperating after doctors were concerned about his health.”
