Johannesburg – Veteran actress Florence Masebe hit back at Twitter users telling her how to feel after she again opened up about being shot at more than 40 times.
Masebe took to social media on the anniversary of the 7shooting this week to share her feelings about the significant event. She said she was celebrating her survival and counting her blessings.
“There will come a time when I no longer remember what happened to me on this day in 1999. The scars are a beautiful reminder of what did not happen. I did not die. I am here,” said Masebe.
Masebe said she chose to open up about the shooting to remind her attackers that they had not got the better of her.
“I speak about my shooting on this day to remind the losers who wanted me dead that they failed and I’m still here. Still loud. Still me. Take that!”
According to the reports at the time, Florence was shot outside her home in 1999 and was allegedly on a list which included fellow Generations actor Sello Maake ka Ncube.
Although she was flooded with support from fans, there were one or two followers who weighed in on how the incident would make them feel.
Masebe didn’t take lights to this saying: “Please don’t tell me how to feel. Ever!” she said to one Twitter user.
