Baby Cele defended Somizi Mhlongo in his tribute message to the late Mbongeni Ngema.

Mbongeni Ngema left many South Africans in tears after he lost his life in an accident. After the news of his death made rounds on social media, many celebs and fans had been mourning.

Among them was one of the stars he groomed in Somizi Mhlongo, and he penned him a lengthy message.

Unfortunately, Somizi’s tribute to Mbongeni Ngema received a lot of backlash until Somizi deleted the post. He kept quiet for days but later came back with an explanation of what had happened.

Many fans failed to accept his explanation, but fellow actress Baby Cele defended him.

Surprisingly, Yaya Mavundla laughed at Somizi but later claimed to have believed his explanation.

“No it doesn’t 😂😂😂 but Mina I believe you yazi because I don’t think you will do that to yourself 😂😂😭. I love you!”

 

Somizi claimed he wanted to send the message to one of his groups.

Unfortunately, he made a mistake in saying that his mind was not okay, but fans have since refused to accept it.

As fans continued to deny his explanation, Baby Cele consoled him, saying he should not care much.

“Me ou fighting, it’s the whole story… Brother was so grateful for your help; anyway let them think whatever they think” she said.
