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.'

Will Smith opens up about personal growth post-Oscars slap
Will Smith has given a striking new perspective on the infamous Oscars moment when he slapped Chris Rock in 2022. Now, nearly three years later, the actor describes the incident as 'bruitiful' — a mix of brutal and beautiful. The actor reflected on how it forced him to confront authenticity and imperfection in his life and career, according to The Daily Mail. Will Smith spoke on BBC Radio 1Xtra with Remi Burgz . He said the experience pushed him to embrace his humanity rather than cling to an image of perfection. 'Finding that way to be with my humanity — be able to not be perfect but be human and find a higher power in my humanity,' he explained. He added that this acceptance allows him to be 'better than Will Smith,' the idealised version of himself he once sought to project. 'The honesty and authenticity and the broader spectrum of the possibilities of who I am is better than Will Smith,' he said. The slap occurred during the 94th Academy Awards in Los Angeles. Chris Rock had just made a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith's shaved head, a result of her alopecia diagnosis. Will Smith stormed the stage and struck Rock. He then shouted for him to 'keep my wife's name out of your mouth,' shocking the global audience. The incident led to a 10-year ban from the Oscars and widespread backlash. Despite the fallout, Will Smith has continued to work on his career. However, sources say the incident has had lasting consequences. Industry insiders reveal that while Smith still has strong instincts for choosing projects. The slap made it difficult for him to secure big-budget films. His public image took a hit, and some projects were put on hold, costing him an estimated R18 billion (about $1 billion) in lost deals and opportunities. Will Smith has publicly apologised to Chris Rock and the Academy, expressing remorse and a desire to make amends. Chris Rock has not yet accepted his offer. The actor has used the experience as a catalyst for personal growth, focusing on authenticity and imperfection rather than maintaining a flawless public persona. Will Smith's journey highlights the complexities of public accountability and personal evolution in the age of instant global media. His candid reflections on embracing imperfection resonate universally, reminding us that even those at the pinnacle of fame face human struggles and the need for growth.
