Tweeps Comes To Zandi Nhlapo’s Defense After Being Judged For Paying Tribute To Her Ex Bob Mabena

Since Bob Mabena’s passing a lot of people have been paying tribute to him. The likes of his former colleague and friend Melanie Bala, president Cyril Ramaphosa, EFF leader Julius Malema, and renowned radio personalities like DJ Fresh, Tim Modise and a whole lot more.

Zandi Nhlapo, who dated Mabena back in the day, also took to Instagram to remember him. The two used to be engaged and have a daughter together. Nhlapo spoke about the kind of passion she shared with Mabena when they were still a couple.

The passion in this relationship, even way after we parted. We loved too hard & fought just as hard. You could literally cut passion with a knife. I didn’t know these pics existed. I wondered & asked where he got them from but then again, that was Bob for you. “I’m a nigga packed with surprises” he said. I wonder who the photographer was. I still can’t believe it, he’s really really gone?! Wow! ??

Well, as expected, her post was screenshot, and shared on Twitter. Everyone then shared their views on the tribute that Nhlapo posted. As much as some people dragged, her, others saw no wrong with Nhlapo celebrating the life she used to share with Mabena.

How Zandi Nhlapo chooses to grieve has nothing to do with all of us. She had a beautiful relationship with Bob, one we can’t even fathom. Just because she didn’t wear a ring doesn’t demean their relationship!

This app and negative vile humans ?
