💔 Drama Erupts Over Burial Funds: Dr Nel’s Family Already Fighting Over Social Media Contributions
What was meant to be a moment of unity and remembrance for the late Dr Nel has sadly turned into a public family feud.
The respected musician and community figure from Makanye village recently passed away, leaving behind both grief — and now, tension — among his relatives.
According to close sources, Dr Nel was an orphan who was raised with love and care by his aunt in Makanye. After news of his death spread, Lekompo musicians came forward, offering to buy a cow for his burial as a sign of respect and brotherhood. Their act of kindness touched many hearts, and soon social media users also offered to contribute towards the funeral costs.
An account number was shared online for those who wanted to help. But before long, things took a dramatic turn. 😞
A video surfaced featuring a family member warning the public not to send any money to the account number being circulated — claiming the account belongs to someone who isn’t even part of the family.
Shortly after, another relative responded, insisting that the account is legitimate and that the confusion was simply the result of a family feud between Dr Nel’s maternal and paternal sides.
Now, what was meant to be a heartfelt community effort has turned into a public argument, leaving friends, fans, and sympathizers confused about who to trust.
Local residents have since called for peace and transparency, saying the focus should be on honouring Dr Nel’s memory, not on fighting over contributions.
🕯️ Many who knew Dr Nel describe him as a peaceful, humble soul who never liked drama or conflict. It’s heartbreaking to imagine him watching from above, seeing the people he loved divided by something as small as money. Those close to him believe he would have wanted everyone to come together in peace, just as he lived — with kindness, simplicity, and love.
May his gentle soul rest in peace.
