His family had to release a statement squashing rumours about his death after Twitter users began asking for others to pray for Ngubane on Monday and the hashtag #PrayForMenziNgubane went viral.
According to reports, Ngubane had received a kidney transplant after being diagnosed with kidney failure in 2014.
So when alleged news that he was critically ill broke on social media, his family reacted in a statement and said his health was not as bad as it was being portrayed in the media.
“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.
We understand their concerns and support for Menzi, but as the family, we appeal to South Africans to refrain from spreading news that has 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 wishes to take this opportunity to fully recover and get back to work as soon as possible.”
