Clement Maosa slams suicide claims

In response to rumours that he wants to commit suicide, actor and musician Clement Maosa decides to share the truth.

The actor and musician took to his social media platforms to address the rumours that he is trying to commit suicide, according to the South African.

On his Facebook account, Maosa explained that he has been receiving messages from people asking if he is trying to kill himself.

“Been getting calls and messages because of these lies. I don’t like entertaining nonsense, but mental illness is a very sensitive issue that mustn’t be joked about. People are going through a lot and we should be sensitive,” he wrote.

Clement denied these claims, saying that he is living a happy life.

“As for me, I’ve never been this happy in my life. All is going well and I’m grateful. God has been good to me. I am living my dream and I am the happiest. Stop believing everything you read on Facebook,” Clement explained.

The actor has been open with his struggle against depression in the past.

He revealed that he had attempted suicide twice, the first time after the death of his father.

” ….I tried eish I think I was going through a lot around that time. You know sometimes you get to a point where you just feel like the world is closing up on you, where you don’t see anywhere out. It is like you are in a tunnel but there is no sign of light. The first time I actually chowed (ate) the hair remover thing…ermm Soft ‘n’ Free, yeah I just think I ate a lot of it and funny enough it did not do anything. Later on they gave me milk or something…” he shared on Mac G’s Podcast.
