Presley Chweneyagae’s Funeral Sparks Outrage—SA Celebrities Criticized for Behavior

Celebrities Criticized for Inappropriate Behavior at Presley Chweneyagae’s Funeral – Mzansi Reacts

The funeral of Presley Chweneyagae, the beloved actor famous for his role in Tsotsi, was meant to be a solemn tribute to his legacy. Instead, reports of disruptive celebrity behavior have sparked outrage, with many calling the conduct “disrespectful” and “tone-deaf.”

Eyewitnesses described a chaotic atmosphere, with some attendees arriving late, engaging in loud conversations, and even filming social media content during the service. One mourner remarked, “It felt more like a networking event than a funeral.”

Videos circulating online show celebrities posing for photos, laughing, and even arguing over seating arrangements—actions that left the grieving family visibly distressed. Social media erupted in condemnation, with one user asking, “Are we mourning or chasing clout?”

Industry veterans and co-stars expressed disappointment, with one saying, “Presley deserved dignity, not a spectacle.” The incident has reignited debates about respect at public memorials, with calls for stricter etiquette at such events.

While South Africa mourns the loss of a cinematic legend, the controversial scenes at his funeral have overshadowed what should have been a moment of unity and remembrance.
