WARREN MASAEMOLA SPEAKS OF ALCOHOL AND BAD FRIENDS IN THE INDUSTRY
During his tribute, Warren Masemola revealed that while he was close friends with Presley Chweneyagae, the pair often quarrelled about prioritising family over bad friends.
He said, “My friend and I fought a lot. I don’t understand people who don’t fight with their friends and the people who they love.
Warren hinted at Presley Chweneyagae’s love of partying and booze. He recalled a time when he travelled to Pretoria to pick up Presley – presumably at the request of his wife – as “he was being a nuisance”
He told funeral-goers: “He dodged me, I found him at Stasie Kombuis [popular groove in Pretoria].”
Warren added that he found Presley with a group of friends who didn’t have his best interests at heart.
He added: “You owe it to yourself to talk to the one you love and say, ‘Please, you have children at home. Go home. Your family needs you.”
