Cape Town – South African celebrity and actor, Somizi Mlongo, is approaching his 50th birthday party and he plans to go all out and celebrate in true Somizi style.
The actor believes that friends and family should be shown love and appreciation on a daily basis and, therefore, he does not want any speeches for his upcoming birthday, his wedding or even at his funeral one day.
Somizi posted a video on his Instagram timeline, explaining that he is sending out invites to his birthday party via video and that he is adamant that no speeches will be made.
“I’m sending invites for my birthday via video, right. I explained the theme, the time, the venue and all of that, but I also explain at the end that just come and eat and drink and mingle. No speeches.

“I’ve always told my friends, they know I hate speeches. I loath speeches. I despise speeches. Am I weird? Whether it’s my wedding, it’s my birthday or at my funeral, preferably no one speaks. Like nobody, because I believe in giving the speeches every day. Don’t wait for a special occasion. Call me. Text me every day, speak to me every day, not on a special occasion. No, thank you,” Somizi said.
Somizi’s 50th birthday party is set for Sun City Resort on 28 January 2023 and he said he plans to celebrate in a big way.
