Presley Chweneyagae’s Memorial Disrupted as Mother Accuses Makhadzi of R50 Million Debt
July 2, 2025 – A memorial service for South African actor Presley Chweneyagae, held on June 3, 2025, at the Mmabatho Convention Centre in Mahikeng, descended into chaos when his mother confronted musician Makhadzi, accusing her of owing the late Tsotsi star R50 million. Chweneyagae, who died on May 27, 2025, at age 40 from respiratory complications, was being honored for his remarkable contributions to film and television, including his SAFTA-winning role in The River. The altercation, which saw Makhadzi escorted out, left attendees stunned and ignited widespread speculation.
The alleged debt reportedly stems from a failed business deal between Chweneyagae and Makhadzi, possibly connected to his foundation, which was linked to a 2023 National Lotteries Commission scandal involving R15 million. Makhadzi’s team refuted the claims, stating, “Ndivhudzannyi is deeply saddened by Presley’s passing and denies any debt. We ask for privacy to honor his memory.” The incident has sparked heated debates on social media, with many questioning the validity of the R50 million claim while calling for respect for Chweneyagae’s legacy.
The confrontation overshadowed a service meant to celebrate Chweneyagae’s three-decade career in film, television, and theater. Industry figures, including The River co-creator Phathutshedzo Makwarela, urged the public to focus on his storytelling legacy. As investigations into the alleged debt continue, the entertainment community seeks resolution to preserve the memory of a cherished South African icon.
