Minnie Dlamini’s brother, Khosini, in ICU

It’s been 24 hours since Minnie Dlamini’s parents, Jabulani and Queen Dlamini, confirmed that their 29-year-old son Khosini, is fighting for his life in ICU, dismissing several reports that he had died.

The Dlaminis responded to the rumours in a statement: “The Dlamini family notes with concern the incorrect news that our son Khosini Dlamini has passed. We can confirm that Khosini has been admitted to hospital and is currently undergoing treatment in ICU at the moment.”

The family is no longer speaking to media on the matter, but asked for the public to stop sharing unfounded information.

“We would like to reserve all comment on the matter and request that we are allowed privacy during this time. We kindly urge public, media and bloggers to refrain from spreading fake news and causing apprehension.”
