- A clip of Lerato Kganyago rejoicing over the acquisition of 12 on Hillel Villa and Spa has come to light after her true connection to the establishment was revealed.
- For years, she led her followers to believe she owned the hotel, but recent disclosures confirmed the actual ownership.
- With her deception exposed, social media users began speculating what else she might have misrepresented.
The internet has a remarkable memory, and a recently surfaced video has intensified the fallout from Lerato Kganyago’s hotel controversy.
The radio personality was seen in an old video celebrating the purchase of the luxury 12 on Hillel Villa and Spa, which has since drawn widespread attention.
This follows revelations that Lerato was not the actual owner of the hotel, despite having showcased it as such for years on social media.
On October 22, 2025, a Twitter (X) user named vha_mo posted a clip featuring a cheerful Lerato with a champagne glass, announcing her news.
“I’m officially part of the hospitality industry! Please support my business, you’re all welcome, and we’re hiring! Happy Valentine’s Day.”
What started as a celebratory moment took a negative turn as the establishment was later implicated in a corruption investigation linked to the Madlanga Commission, where it was mentioned as a location favored by corrupt officials.
The hotel management later stated that they were unaware of any alleged illicit activities occurring on their premises and denied any association with Kganyago, a revelation that surprised many online observers.
Social media erupted with users criticizing Lerato Kganyago for misleading her fans.
