Somizi Mhlongo is the son of the well known South African actress known as Mary Thwala. Mary Thwala is 80 years of age. She has been one of the legendary actresses from famous soapies known as Ubizo The Calling And Generations.
Somizi this year got into a war with a fan when he was mocking his mother on Mothers Day. Somizi stood up and made sure that the person got the message clear as he put him on his place.
Yesterday Somizi Mhlongo posted on twitter a very heartbreaking tweet that touched not just him but the whole world. He announced that his tree has fallen. South Africans at large were touched by the death of Mary Thwala.
A fan replied to Somizi saying that it is not right to announce someone’s death.
@Minanje, “No.1, too soon, this is not your platform to raise such. 2. This is about Somizi’s relationship with his fans and his mother’s. 3. Let Africans mourn as they see fit, we don’t subscribe to your African behaviour handbook.”
@Sikeleli, “Somizis mother is not an ordinary gogo she entertained us throughout her life and gave us a son who is also entertaining us, she has to be celebrated”
@Zeni, “Did the fact that this woman was somebody known and loved by SAns fly over your head? did you expect him to call each and one of us? khona what makes you think you can come tell us about our African practices and how we should do things? Hayi susqhela kakubi! Tshini!”
