Actress Thuthuka Mthembu was also a victim of a death hoax which took place a few months ago. There were rumours that she was involved in a fatal car accident.
However, the actress shut down those rumours, when she told the Daily Sun,
“I’m alive and kicking. I’m not ill and I was not involved in a car accident. The news didn’t only hurt me, but also my loved ones…What hurts me most was that news outlets even ran stories saying I was dead without confirming it,” the publication quoted Thuthuka.
