Ponono went live on Facebook trying to commit suicide by hanging. In the video, Ponono could be seen climbing a tree with a rope in his hand.

This is what he wrote on his Facebook live video post; “People won’t understand what you going through until you act stupid ... I am sorry ... I love you all.

At the time of reporting it’s not clear if the comedian was pulling a prank. Efforts to get in touch with him have proven futile as his mobile phone was busy.

Ponono’s suicide attempt comes just a couple of days after South African rapper, producer and songwriter, Ricky Rick committed suicide.
