Masechaba Ndlovu found herself trending on social media after revealing very private information. In her status she even mentioned Robert Marawa’s name and Nathi Mthethwa.
She mentioned that no one will be allowed to visit Anele’s family due to the reason that Anele’s mother had tested positive for Covid-19 and the burial will be moved to the following week.
Masechaba andlovu even went as far as revealing that Anele’s family was having difficulties with the funeral cover costs. She mentioned that Sundowns managed to donate R100 000, The provincial department provided R40 000 and Thabo Tutu is the one that is working with the organising committee. Robert Marawa responded to Masechaba Ndlovu about the fact that Anele’s family had not realised a statement about this informatio, since she might have been given the permission to reveal this kind of information.
Robert Marawa also mentioned that he did not receive any phone call from Anele’s family and that it was not in her place to tell the world about this information.
This is what Masechaba Ndlovu posted:
“Dear
, neither the MEC nor Minister
can visit the family at this time as Anele’s mother has tested positive for COVID-19. For this reason the funeral has been moved to next week.”
“Sundowns has provided R100,000. The Provincial Department of Sport provided R40,000. Thabo Tutu from the Provincial Department is part of the organising committee and has been working with a team lead by a family representative and looking at quotes, etc.”
“Furthermore, he advises that the above funds will be sufficient to cover costs of the funeral. The family is of the view that there must be 20, 000 people at the event. They were told that it must be confined to 100 people as per the COVID-19 health protocol.”
“Thabo is arranging to meet with Anele’s sister who has been on social media and on radio, to request her not to be reckless and to withdraw her statements. I hope this clarifies things.”
This is how Robert Marawa responded:
