“This Hurts Like Hell,” Langa Mavuso on the Passing of His Boyfriend Lentswe Bhengu
“This Hurts Like Hell,” Langa Mavuso on the Passing of His Boyfriend Lentswe Bhengu. You can never really get over the death of a loved one, more especially if the deceased was our partner. Langa Mavuso, who lost his partner over a month ago can definitely attest to that.
His boyfriend Lentswe Bhengu passed away on the 28th of February, at Sandton Medi-Clinic, where he was admitted. The celebrity chef, TV personality, author and content creator’s passing took many by shock, as he was just fine weeks prior to his death. When announcing his death Bhengu’s family took to social media, where they revealed that he suffered a short illness, which he sadly succumbed to.
A couple of hours after the death announcement, Langa took to his Twitter account to show his reaction to the news of Lentswe’s untimely passing. Without saying much, he tweeted, “Lizwi Lam.”
The name Lizwi is of Xhosa origin, and it evokes logical reasoning. You are possibly intelligent, intuitive, graceful, and even a psychic. The full name of lizwi is lizwilenkosi which means the word of God”. It could also be that Langa was translating Lentswe, which is a Tswana word, to his language Xhosa.
Langa has once again taken to Twitter to mourn his partner, this time with a more elaborate tribute. The award winning singer and songwriter has posted some of the beautiful memories that he and Lentswe shared. On one video the two can be seen cooking together, and in another it looks like they are hosting some guests.
“This hurts like hell,” Langa captioned the pictures and videos.
