This X post from South African TV and radio host Pabi Moloi ( @PabiMoloi) is her humorous yet frustrated debunking of a death hoax circulating about her. In a video (filmed from her car), she expresses disbelief at the rumor—saying she’s “very much alive” as of October 20, 2025—and ties it to other “weird” things she’s endured, like body shaming and contradictory fashion list rankings in the same year.
The caption quotes Mark Twain: “The rumors of my death are greatly exaggerated. “The speculation likely stemmed from her recent time offline (to protect her mental health, as some replies note) combined with visible weight loss, which has sparked concern and unkind comments from fans. Replies are mostly supportive, urging kindness and relief that she’s okay, though a few poke fun at her changed appearance. It’s gone semi-viral with over 44K views, highlighting how quickly misinformation spreads about public figures.
