Mohale Motaung responds to criticism for joining Rhythm City
Mohale Motaung-Mhlongo has taken no time to respond to the criticism he received after it was announced he was joining Rhythm City.
Mohale is set to make a guest appearance on the etv soapie Rythm City.
Twitter users questioned how Mohale had landed the Rythm City job over performing arts graduates who were more qualified.
In a statement, e.tv confirmed that Mohale would be making a celebrity guest appearance and that he would be playing the character of Kudzo.
Mohale was a guest on SABC 3’s “Trending SA” where he addressed the criticism.
“About the ’Rhythm City’ gig, people expect me to not do anything simply because I am married to a famous person. I can’t blame myself for getting married to Somizi, and that now must not mean I shouldn’t pursue any opportunities simply because people are going to say that Somizi got them for me”, said Mohale.
He said that those making comments on social media know nothing about how he got the gig.
Mohale also said that he auditioned for the role and was not alone in the audition as many have said.
“My agent sent me an email and said myself and six others have been picked to audition, I recorded a self-tape and sent it”.
Model and Actor Mohale Motaung is married to Television personality and Idols SA judge Somizi Mhlongo and the couple celebrated their one year marriage anniversary on Monday.
