Gospel singer Winnie Mashaba is under fire on social media for her recent visit to the family of the late Solly Moholo, which some critics have labeled as “showboating.” The controversy erupted after Mashaba reportedly arrived at Wonderboom Airport in Pretoria in a private aircraft on Friday, sparking heated discussions online.
Critics have pointed out that Mashaba did not visit Moholo during his time in the hospital, raising questions about her sincerity. A music executive, who requested anonymity, expressed frustration, stating, “A fact is that Winnie failed to visit Solly in hospital and she was supposed to use that plane to go to Rustenburg and visit Solly. Now she uses it for showboating and exposure.”
Social media users echoed similar sentiments, with one remarking, “These people love each other only on social media, but in real life, this is how they’ll do when you are dead because you mean nothing to them.” Another user questioned, “Why didn’t she help with Solly’s hospital bill?”
Some fans noted the stark contrast between her past declarations of affection for Moholo and her current actions, suggesting that her timing in choosing to show support now, after his passing, undermines her earlier claims. “This woman always said Solly Moholo was her brother and mentor but today she’s exposing the opposite of her claims. It’s sad,” commented one user.
Meanwhile, members of the Limpopo Artists Movement have been actively collecting donations to assist with Moholo’s hospital bills, demonstrating a community effort to support the late singer during his health struggles. Attempts by TshisaLIVE to reach Mashaba for a comment regarding the backlash were unsuccessful, leaving her to navigate the growing criticism on her own. As the discussion continues, many are left questioning the authenticity of public expressions of grief and support within the music community.
