Mohale Motaung sparks reactions after shading Somizi’s SAMA 31 dress design
Mohale Motaung has caused a stir online by seemingly casting a shadow over his former spouse, Somizi Mhlongo, following the acclaim for the designer’s work at the 31st South African Music Awards.
This incident occurred after Makhadzi expressed gratitude for Somizi’s design of her eye-catching white gown for SAMA 31. Fans celebrated the partnership, while Mohale appeared to respond with a sarcastic video featuring a woman enthusiastically lauding her fashion designer.
Many social media observers quickly interpreted the subtext of Mohale’s video, with numerous users agreeing that he was subtly criticizing the media figure who has transitioned into fashion design.
One user remarked, “I can smell the shade coming from this tweet 😭,” while others filled the comments with memes, humorously acknowledging what appeared to be clear sarcasm.
Adding to the dialogue, noted commentator Nota Baloyi posted a provocative comment, saying, “Maybe you should warn @MakhadziSA that tax troubles always follow your ex’s friends…”
This comment further intensified the existing debate.
However, not all reactions favored Mohale. One critic confronted him directly, stating, “O nale jealous wena, @somizi has moved on chief, or ke tlala tweeting?” suggesting that his response stemmed from jealousy rather than humor.
