As the country mourns the loss of our former President Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela, one of our celebrities took it upon himself to address the international guests who will be making their way to SA to attend and cover the state funeral.
South African choreographer Somizi Mhlongo, posted an Instagram message for all international media and dignataries to see and comprehend. In this letter, Somizi pleads with the international media to refrain from turning the state funeral into a spectacle and understand that the funeral should be respectfully treated as our (South African’s) last farewell to the man we loved and respected.
Seen below is the open letter Somizi posted on his personal instagram account:
