Somizi insists on being paid for the Ministerial cook-off despite the Tourism Department claims

Somizi never ceases to amaze and his drama is far from over. The Idol’s SA judge has seen himself trending for what seems to be Mzansi’s next biggest scandal.

Somizi Mhlongo trends on social media after hinting at being paid for the ministerial cook-off show organized by the Tourism Department.

eNCA took a dig into the matter in Check Point but nothing seemed to have materialised. Som and a representative from the Tourism department were asked how much the celebrity was paid for the show which held in May.

However the representative said the radio personality wasn’t paid, but Som hinted at being paid. The teaser has garnered lots of attention, as people await the airing of the full show in the night.
