Mpho Popps Come Under Fire: Outrage Over Presley Chweneyagae's Memorial Is Sparked by a Comedy Skit

 

Comedian Mpho Popps has been hounded by social media users over a video in which he seems to make fun of the late actor Presley Chweneyagae's burial service. The entertainment business was greatly affected by Chweneyagae's death in May. A comedian faces criticism for their memorial service skit. Recently, friends, admirers, and coworkers came together to honour the gifted actor, but Mpho Popps—who is notorious for imitating celebrities—found himself in hot trouble. The comedian appeared to be reenacting a scene from the memorial service by editing pictures of the deceased veteran actor into the background of his film.

Many social media users cancelled the comedian for what they considered to be an inappropriate conduct so soon after Chweneyagae's death, in response to the video's widespread condemnation.
