HHP

Just after his death was announced war erupted between Hip Hop Pantsula’s family and wife Lerato Sengadi. It got worse when Lerato applied for a court interdict to halt funeral proceedings.

Senzo Meyiwa

Who can forget  this one. Firstly the nature of Senzo Meyiwa’s death is still one of the most talked about controversial issues. The soccer star passed away while at his mistress’s house. His family wanted nothing to do with Kelly Khumalo. Although she is the baby mama, she was not at the funeral Even up to today, many still blame her for his death.

Sfiso Ncwane

Family, family, family. Ayanda Ncwane had to fight a lot of attack right from Sfiso’s passing till the funeral. She and the gospel star’s mother did not see eye to eye even when he was alive. There were children coming up as Sfiso’s kids during funeral proceedings.

Winnie Mandela

Pro Kid

Another one who died while with a side chick is Pro Kid. Although the family kept it low profile, the supposedly side chick opened up to the media. She was subsequently banned from showing her face at the funeral.
