Don Mlangeni's family reacts to rumours of a fight over his estate
It's been barely a month since veteran actor Don Mlangeni was laid to rest, and already his family has had to address rumours surrounding his 'estate.'
The family has responded to reports claiming they are fighting over his house. This follows a video shared by celebrity blog Maphephandaba, showing the actor's wife, Regina Nawa, in a heated verbal altercation with another woman.
In the video, police and others can intervene as the two argue over living arrangements. The blog alleged that the dispute was over Don Mlangeni's house, money, and other belongings.
'Bra Don has hardly rest in peace, however his wife and family are already fighting for his house, monies, and everything. Ke thibang thibang (block here and there) at Orlando East in Soweto. Neighbours even called the police because one of the family members fainted while fists were flying,' read the post.
However, the family dismissed the claims through the actor's official Instagram account. In a post shared to his Instagram Story, the Nawa family labelled the story fake news.
'This situation has nothing to do with Don Mlangeni Nawa nor his property,' said the family.
The family also explained that Regina was fighting the rooms she had built, and the incident happened back in January.
Mlangeni died on 16 April and was laid to rest on 26 April. During his funeral service, his widow, Regina, spoke about his last months, revealing he had been silently battling an illness.
Addressing mourners, she shared:
'My husband had prostate cancer. He did his first chemotherapy, but it never worked, he tried a second treatment, but it became so aggressive that they had to cut it short.
'He gained weight over time, but it was false weight. The chemotherapy caused a build-up of water in his body. He was in and out of the hospital until eventually, he was released and told to go home and die with his family.'

Comrades Marathon proposal goes horribly wrong!
A Comrades Marathon runner's live televised proposal didnt go the way he anticipated. After crossing the finish line, the man proposed to his girlfriend, a fellow runner. The moment was caught on camera. In a clip posted on social media, a Comrades Marathon runner from Johannesburg's Fitness From Africa running club was seen proposing to his partner. The runner and his girlfriend had just crossed the finish line when he suddenly dropped down on one knee. 'Will you marry me?' he asked his partner – both of whom are green number veterans – who nervously laughed. She then whispered in the man's ear: 'Not on TV, please!' @rofhiwaroro3 #comradesmarathon2025 #running #fyp #proposal ♬ original sound – Rofhiwa The live moment was aired as part of SuperSport's Comrades Marathon coverage. The presenter asked the woman, 'I don't know if she said yes,' before she pushed his microphone out of his face. In the comments section of the video, many South Africans felt sorry for the runner being publicly rejected. Others chastised the man for humiliating his partner on live television. While the veteran Comrades Marathon runner did not get the results he hoped for – at least in the love department – another did when he popped the question to his partner, who was cheering from the sidelines. @nikitafortmann02 another day celebrating strangers 🥹🥹❤️❤️ #comradesmarathon #tiktoksa #proposal ♬ Ordinary (Wedding Version) – Alex Warren Let us know by leaving a comment below, or send a WhatsApp to 060 011 021 1 .
