Meshack Mavuso shares Presley's touching video from Saturday
Chweneyagae passed away on Tuesday morning at the age of 40, and his passing has sent shockwaves across the country.
Meshack took to social media to express his heartbreak over the actor's untimely passing and posted a clip capturing one of Presley's final joyful moments.
In the video, the Tsotsi star appears to be in high spirits, dancing to a traditional song at what seems to be an intimate gathering at the South African State Theatre.
The Smoke & Mirrors actor revealed that Presley had changed his plans en route to the stadium and instead decided to join him at the event. Mavuso said it's hard to believe Chweneyagae is gone, especially since he seemed joyful on Saturday.
'I had no idea it was our last hangout. Can't believe you were this happy just this past Saturday and now this 💔,' he wrote.
He also shared that the late actor had asked to borrow a jacket, which he said he would never get back.
'How you called me to say I must bring you a jacket because you hadn't checked the invite and now the red carpet was red carpeting and you didn't wanna look like a 🤡, you said🤣.
'When you said I'm never getting my jacket back, I had no idea this is what you meant. When you called to check if I'm ok the next day, I couldn't have imagined that you weren't ok. Wavuma nje kanjalo ngawe? Or kune movie that you all are shooting there in heaven esingayazi? Go shine your light, Tobetsa 🕊️. It is well,' he wrote. View this post on Instagram

Many have been wondering what happened to him after the heartbreaking news of the legendary actor's passing. His family has since spoken out, with its spokes person, Mzwakhe Sigudla, confirming that Presley died of natural causes related to breathing difficulties.
'There has been speculation, and we want to clarify that there has been no foul play with what happened to Presley, and unfortunately, it is what you call natural death.'
'He had a bit of complication related to breathing and paramedics were called to attend the scene, but unfortunately, he did not make it, and there is nothing we know other than that, and we want to put it to the nation that it is a natural death,' he told the media.

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.
