Johannesburg - Internet rule 101: Never trust a twitter death
It seems Ntsiki learnt that lesson the hard way when she heard that her drummer, Smash, had died- only to find he is alive and well!
The confusion started on Friday when Ntsiki heard that her drummer had committed suicide. She immediately took to Twitter to pay her respects.
My drummer committed suicide.........I'm so heartbroken. RIP Smash.......RIP

— ♥ CheriEgrand ♥ (@ntsikimazwai) July 31, 2015As her fans rushed to comfort the poet and musician, she went into isolation and cried "all day."
It was only a few hours later, that poor Ntsiki learnt that the death was all a hoax!
OMG after crying ALL DAY.....it turns out it's one of those death rumours. Apparently my drummer is alive and surprised we all say he is dead
