Popular Mzansi actress and performer Matshepo Maleme said what people have been saying about her is a lie.This after her House of Zwide character Rea died from cancer and many people took it as though she had cancer in real life.

The Joburg-based actress said she is okay and that the stories about her were fabrications. She said she felt like people wanted to mess with her and they almost ruined her future with fake news.
“I have figured that once you start sharing your most personal information, confidential information with the public, you’ll have to do that all your life. The public has no business diagnosing people,” she said.

 

 

 

“I have never tested for all those things and yet someone, unknown to me, just decides on top of their head that this person is ill,” she said.

The actress said people should stop doing this to others, whether they are popular or not.“You are sabotaging future possibilities and prospects for me because no one wants to touch you. Thinking that you won’t be able to do the job,” she said.“It’s unfair to me. It’s criminal. It’s just plain wrong not to me alone, but my family as well,”

Matshepo said she was well and good. She said this is the reason she does not do interviews.

“I prefer radio or on-screen interviews because then the public will hear my voice. It’s about me speaking for myself and giving my side of the story. News is often twisted and spiced up,” she said.
