Somizi Mhlongo’s Continued Success Despite Abuse Allegations Upsets Many. A number of people are upset that Mhlongo continues to book jobs and gigs despite being a convicted sex offender. The abuse claims raised by his ex-husband Mohale Motaung still weigh heavily on the minds of many. With no accountability or remorse shown, Mhlongo remains at the receiving end of public anger.
