Actor and model Mohale Motaung has not been having a great time recently without being dragged by the cold world of social media.
He has in fact had a fair share of ruthless drags, from trending for his SMEG kettle to the English-class flop, the model has now found himself on the wrong side of Twitter again.
Actor Mohale Mhlongo-Motaung faced the Twitter firing squad over the weekend after a video of him joking about what people may do with the R350 Covid-19 unemployment grant fell flat.
The star caused a stir on social media when he posted a TikTok of him lip-syncing a call to a car dealership asking them how much a Polo Vivo costs.
“Me after getting the R350 the government promised us,” Mohale wrote.

Mohale got major backlash on social media with many saying the subject was very insensitive.
Although some defended him and said it was meant to crack a joke, but you know on Twitter everyone has their day, Mohale ended up being dragged.
Still doesn’t make it right even if there are more videos. You can’t be seen trying to assist the very vulnerable during this pandemic and then turn around and make fun of those very same people when the government tries to assist too. It’s wrong

If he wants to be a public figure….he nees to consider certain posts and things he says, because it always comes back to bite you when you act without thinking of the impa6that has on your brand and your followers. Now look at the back lash that he and Ntando Duma are getting.

Today Mohale is making fun of the unemployed and their R350, we must laugh and kikiki. When it’s about him and his blesser husband it’s bullying. But ok…

So sad, that video was so unnecessary and shows he is new money.

I can’t be the only one who found that video of him unfunny. It was disgusting to say the least.
