The recent false reports of Nompilo Maphumulo’s death have left her family deeply traumatized. The rumours claimed that the renowned actress was shot by gunmen while in her car in Johannesburg, an allegation that Nompilo vehemently denies, according to Daily Sun
Upon learning of the news, Nompilo expressed her shock and disbelief, stating that she had to pinch herself to confirm that she was, in fact, alive.

Nompilo Maphumulo said:
"I was shocked and even pinched myself to prove that I wasn't a ghost. How can someone go so far as to claim that a person is dead while they are alive? And the worst part, the news said that I was ambushed by gunmen. That's insane, and I'm angry over this,"
Emphasizing that she has no enemies and does not know any “gunmen,” Nompilo voiced her anger and frustration over the damaging misinformation. The false news has caused significant distress to her family, prompting Nompilo to take the time to explain the situation and calm their concerns.
Nompilo reiterated:
"Why would I be killed by izinkabi? Do I have enemies? No, I don't. I don't know even one gunman. So why would someone report such fabricated news? This has traumatised my family. I had to explain to them and tried to calm them down. This has caused enough damage."
This incident highlights the detrimental impact that the spread of unverified information can have on individuals and their loved ones. Nompilo has urged the public to verify news before believing and sharing it, underscoring the importance of responsible and ethical reporting to prevent the further spread of such traumatic and damaging falsehoods.
