Former Isidingo star Don Mlangeni Nawa's cause of death revealed
The former Isidingo star's funeral service was held at the Germiston Civic Centre, and several artists, politicians, friends, and relatives attended.
The seasoned actor passed away on 16 April at the age of 65. Confirmed reports have it that he has been in and out of the hospital before his untimely death.
Speaking during his husband's funeral service, Regina said she wouldn't cry but say goodbye to her husband. She also revealed the cause of his death as she revealed his health woes.
Regina revealed that Don lost his battle with prostate cancer.
'My husband had prostate cancer. He tried chemotherapy the first time around, but it didn't work. He tried the second time, and it became aggressive on his body.
'Chemo resulted in him generating a long for water in his body. He was in and out of the hospital to a point where they discharged him and said he should come and die at home,' she said.
Don Mlangeni's wife also revealed that she had support from politicians, government officials and artists in her corner.
'I witnessed the journey of deterioration my husband went through. I didn't go through it alone. I was with government officials, politicians, artists and ordinary people. I'm here to thank people, not cry, but say thank you.'
Regina also revealed that Bra Don received medicine overseas, seemingly extending his life for a while longer.
'I was forced to stop working to care for him. We were struggling financially, and I called on the Premier, who came running and bought the first set of his medication.
'I also reached out to the Deputy Minister of Women, Children and Persons with Disabilities, who purchased the second batch, although my husband passed before he could finish it,' Kaya 959 noted.

Donald Trump considering a pardon for Diddy
It appears that President Donald Trump may be considering giving rapper Sean 'Diddy' Combs a 'get out of jail free card.' These reports follow two months after the rapper was found guilty of two counts of prostitution. Despite the seemingly good news for the rapper, the pardoning may not be set in stone just yet. On 17 May 2024, CNN released footage showing Diddy physically assaulting singer Cassie in a hotel hallway in Los Angeles. Just two days later, Diddy posted an apology video, but the damage had already been done. Public perception had shifted and the seriousness of the incident was widely acknowledged. On 16 September 2024, Diddy was arrested at his hotel in Manhattan following a grand jury indictment. The next day, he faced court charges for sex-trafficking, racketeering, and transportation of prostitution. By November of the same year, over 100 additional assault allegations had surfaced against him. The trial commenced on 12 May 2025, with Diddy pleading not guilty to the charges. By 2 July 2025, the verdict was in: he was acquitted of the more severe charges of racketeering and sex-trafficking. But, he was found guilty on two counts related to transportation for prostitution. The trail continues as everyone awaits the sentencing details. May 2025 was the first time President Trump hinted at the possibility of pardoning Diddy during the rapper's sex-trafficking trial. While speaking at the Oval Office, President Trump said the following: I would certainly look at the facts. If I think somebody was mistreated, whether they like me or don't like me, it wouldn't have any impact on me. The final part of the statement appeared important to add seeing as the president was unsure of whether his relationship with the rapper was still on good terms following his first election. Recent reports, however, suggest that President Trump may be staying true to his word as he considers pardoning Diddy. An administration source told Deadline that the president is 'seriously considering' pardoning the rapper. It's still unclear which way President Trump is leaning, but we can expect to find out at the end of Diddy's trial later this year.
