“More details will follow in due course. At the moment the family is still shocked and grieving,” the statement read.
Speculation that Rethabile committed suicide arose on social media. However, the late media personality’s management rejected these claims.
“As her manager I can 100% confirm that she didn’t commit suicide nor [did] she pass away due to ‘depression’. Details of the cause of her death will be released as soon as the doctors get back with the test results,” said the management.
In the video that has since gone viral on social media, Dinkybliss is crying while recording the video.
“Whatever that is happening to me now is too much. I haven’t been able to sleep and it scares me because I don’t want to do anything to myself, I’ve got a child…
