22-year old Nelli died in the early house of Sunday after she allegedly fell from the 10th floor of the Pepperclub Hotel in Cape Town. The Tembe and Forbes families confirmed Nelli’s death through a statement on Sunday afternoon.
Before their confirmation, an unknown Twitter account has already broke the news which saw AKA and Nelli topping the trending list.
In the wake of Nelli’s death, many celebrities including Prince Kaybee have taken to social media to urge their followers to be more sensitive around announcing people’s deaths, especially when they have no authority to do so.
“If you wake to the news that I’m dead, I know nobody likes me, but please be sensitive to the reality that my family lost someone they love. No matter what opinion you have about me, I’m still someone’s child, friend, boyfriend, father, and colleague.”
“We really need to treat other people’s loss with caution. You can’t run your mouth as if you are immortal. Be careful,” Kaybee said.
Others celebs who also weighed in on the conversation includes Boity Thulo, Nandi Madida, and Bontle Moloi.
“Think about your worst, most painful moments. Consider how you would have wanted people to extend their warmth and kindness to you. Then do exactly that for the next person.
“The darkness on social media can be unbearably overpowering. Please let’s all choose kindness as often as possible. Please,” Boity said.
Choreographer and TV personality Bontle echoed Boity’s sentiments, adding that compassion is needed in our everyday lives.
“We know absolutely nothing about what someone outside ourselves is fully experiencing in their hearts, minds and souls. We don’t know what people have to live with, external to and within themselves. Please have compassion. Use it. Every single day. It’s so important to have,” Bontle said.
