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.'

Sizwe Dhlomo says ‘No' to Lasizwe Dambuza's 'Awkward Dates': is he playing hard to get?
Sizwe Dhlomo's polite refusal to appear on Lasizwe Dambuza's YouTube show, 'Awkward Dates', has ignited discussions on social media. Image: File image South African media personality Sizwe Dhlomo has turned down an invitation to appear on Lasizwe Dambuza's popular YouTube show, "Awkward Dates". The request came after a fan expressed excitement about seeing Dhlomo as a guest on this wildly entertaining platform, known for its unfiltered displays of awkwardness and humorous moments. The suggestion gained momentum when the show's creator, Dambuza, seized the opportunity presented by a fan on X. The user, known as @Sereng_K, voiced their enthusiasm for Dhlomo's appearance, prompting Dambuza to extend a personal invitation. 'That would be so cool hey! @SizweDhlomo can I take you out on a date, I promise it won't be awkward?' he wrote, trying to charm a response from the seasoned presenter. However, Dhlomo's reply was both straightforward and polite, as he told Dambuza, 'Nah, I don't do interviews bro. Good show though. If ever I have something to promote one day, I'll hit you up. Keep up the good work.' Video Player is loading.

Keep up the good work. — Sizwe Dhlomo (@SizweDhlomo) June 7, 2025 This response, while polite, sparked a wave of reactions from social media users who began to dissect Dhlomo's rationale behind declining the invitation. Critics quickly pointed out that the star has recently been featured on interviews for platforms like 'Podcast and Chill' and the 'L-Tido Podcast', leading to contrasting opinions on his decision to remain detached from "Awkward Dates". One user commented, 'But Sizwe, you will just be acting, come on ... you don't have to tell the truth about your life. You keep it at 16% and make everything up there at the date.' Meanwhile, others questioned the fairness of his stance, suggesting that waiting to appear only when promoting something diminishes engagement with fans. 'Is it fair to only want to go when promoting something?' asked another user, while a more understanding fan added, 'I hardly agree with Sizwe but, well handled my brother. You'd be dragged had you said 'No, thank you'. We live on eggshells these days.' Meanwhile, Dambuza has been busy fulfilling his aspirations by inviting an exciting line-up of celebrity guests to his show. Last month, he took to Instagram to share his dream list, which included names like television personality Bonang Matheba, Grammy winner Tyla, and former Miss Universe Zozibini Tunzi. Notably, Tunzi has already accepted the invitation and appeared in a recent episode two weeks back, delighting audiences with their engaging chemistry.
