In the age of viral videos and trending hashtags, it doesn’t take much for rumors to catch fire.
Over the past few hours, social media platforms like TikTok and Facebook have been flooded with reports claiming that beloved Southern African gospel singer Kgethang Konese Difela has tragically died in a car crash.
But as of now, no official confirmation has been released to support these claims.
Where Did the News Come From?
The story seems to have originated from a TikTok user going by the name Isaiah Kokwana, who posted a video stating that Kgethang had passed away in a car accident involving his BMW.
That video was then reshared across Facebook, with many users posting tributes and “RIP” messages, despite the lack of verified details.
No Credible News Outlet Has Confirmed It
As of now, no major Southern African news outlet or tabloid has confirmed the gospel singer’s passing.
This includes the region’s usual go-to sources for entertainment or breaking news.
TDPel Media, which first reported on the rumor, made it clear that the claims remain unverified.
Fans Urged to Wait for Official Information
