Mohale Motaung opened up about his relationship with his ex-husband and the media personality Somizi Mhlongo. He did an interview with Alden Sampear on Showmax and showed images of the alleged assault and damaged car. When Mohale decided to break his silence about his abuse allegations, it became quite a spectacle for many. The interview was just Mohale telling his side of the story publicly.
During the interview, he detailed his relationship from when it started to when it turned sour and how it eventually ended. During the interview, he also made examples of the times he was abused. Mohale said he was happy with Somizi, and they had a beautiful relationship.
Mohale says Somizi damaged his car after one event. Both were at the event when Somizi started talking to one of his exes to spite his husband. According to the radio personality, he didn’t react but instead chose to take his car and drive away. That’s when Somizi decided to follow him with his car, and no matter how hard he tried driving away, he kept up with him.
Somizi eventually caught up with him, and they argued near Steyn City. As they claimed, Somgaga assaulted him, resulting in him getting some bruises. When security came along, the Idols judge lied and said he was helping Mohale with his car accident. Mohale shared pictures of bleeding gum, a scratch with some blood and bruises on his body.
When Mohale made allegations against Somizi, many people did not believe him. It is the first time he shows evidence of being physically abused. It was hard to comprehend for a lot of people why an attractive young man like Mohale would fall in love and get married to Somizi. Even when the relationship started, a lot of people assumed Mohale was just a gold digger who was after Somizi’s money.
Somizi has a very reputable name in the South African entertainment industry. He has been in the game for many years, and with his big image, he was shaken by the allegations. He was suspended from various jobs and didn’t get bookings until the allegations lost steam.
Many people noted that it becomes dire when women make abuse allegations against men. When the singer Sjava was accused of serious crimes, he was suspended from many jobs and didn’t return until his name was cleared. South Africans question why the Idols judge is given so much preference and why he is still on screen today with such allegations pending over him.
Somizi’s fan base is huge, and most of his fans accused Mohale of many things. One of which was being a scam artist and a person who has perfected the art of pulling off heists. His abuse allegations against the Idols judge made him a target for social media bullying. Some people told Mohale he would not amount to anything and become irrelevant now that he’s no longer with Somizi.
Now that such evidence has been released, Somizi’s name is taking a knock once more. Since the Opulence Radio presenter made the allegations, he has always been open about not wanting to give out much about his abuse. He has said from the beginning that he is leaving his legal team to do everything on his behalf.
