Behind the glamour, sequins, and flamboyant TV appearances, a terrifying real-life horror is unfolding in the home of one of the country’s most iconic celebrities. Somizi Mhlongo, loved by millions, is living a secret nightmare — one involving a terminal illness, ancestral curses, and a mysterious disease consuming his only daughter, Bahumi, from the inside out.

But this isn’t just a medical tragedy — this is a spiritual war, a family curse, and a race against time that could end in double death before December.

“My blood is killing us” – Somizi confesses in leaked voice note

In an audio clip leaked by a former domestic worker and authenticated by voice analysis, Somizi can be heard weeping and saying:

“It’s not medical… It’s in my blood. Whatever killed my father, my uncle, it’s come for me… and now it’s eating my daughter too. They said I have six months. I don’t think she has more than three.”

According to two independent sources close to the Mhlongo family, doctors initially believed Somizi was suffering from a rare degenerative brain disorder. But when Bahumi started showing symptoms that mirror her father’s, doctors suggested the impossible: “This is not scientific. This is… ancestral.”

The ‘Purple Curse’ — A dark family history unearthed

In a shocking twist, an anonymous family elder revealed to Sunday Eye that Somizi’s paternal bloodline is rumored to be cursed. A string of bizarre deaths — including three relatives dying mysteriously on the 7th of July, years apart — has led elders in Soweto to believe the Mhlongo lineage was cursed by a sangoma in the 1950s.

“The curse is called ‘uMthunzi weGazi’ — The Shadow of Blood,” a traditional healer from Limpopo explained. “It skips generations, but when it returns, it destroys both the seed and the branch — the parent and the child.”

Body Wasting & Vanishing Marks

Friends close to Bahumi say her condition is “terrifying to witness”. One crew member who worked with her on a short film project said:

“One week she looked healthy. The next, it was like something was draining her. She has these strange purple marks that appear and vanish within hours. She stopped posting selfies. She’s hiding something — or someone is hiding it for her.”

A nurse at a private clinic in Bryanston confirmed (off record) that Bahumi is being treated under a pseudonym and kept in a ward with “extremely restricted access” — a level of privacy used usually for state witnesses or high-risk VIPs.

A Secret Funeral Rehearsal?!

Perhaps the most chilling detail in this twisted tale: sources say Somizi recently held a private “living funeral” — a Zulu ritual where a person near death gives their last words while still alive. It was attended only by four people, including a mysterious woman dressed entirely in white, believed to be a prophetess from Eswatini.

During this ritual, Somizi reportedly handed over a sealed envelope marked:
“To be opened when Bahumi sees purple skies.”

Is This the End? Or the Beginning of Something Bigger?

Fans are now divided — some sending prayers, others speculating that this is linked to secret society involvement, or even a soul exchange ritual.

What is true and what is myth? What is illness and what is curse?
All we know is: Somizi has six months to live. His daughter is fading fast. And South Africa is watching a real-life horror story play out — one secret, one scream, one shadow at a time.
