‘This is malicious…both tweets are fake’ – Somizi Mhlongo

'Talk about reaching...but I'm glad we have a platform to correct it.' - Mhlongo.


South African actor, radio presenter and TV personality Somizi Mhlongo has cleared the air about tweets circulating on social media on Sunday night which made it seem as though he and hubby Mohale Motaung were throwing shots at each other about the AKA and Anele drama.

The married couple have kept quiet about whether they are still together and have both been seen travelling to different cities without each other.

They also removed their double-barrelled surnames on their social media, both going by the surnames they had before marriage.

Amid the AKA and Nellie saga on Twitter, tweets from both Somizi and Mohale were screenshotted by a Twitter user and circulated on the social media platform.

In a screenshot of the back and fourth between the couple, Mohale tweeted: “For the record! Abusers and Scammers are two different things. I’ll stop here!”

Somizi responded: “Wena uzonya msunu, msuner, msunest.”

Somizi saw the screenshot and posted it on his Twitter page to let his followers know it was fake and was photoshopped. The tweet was captioned: “I wish you guys would guys could RETWEET and QUOTE TWEET this may thousand of times when I post about my book, shoe, tv show, song, appearances, campaigns etc etc… this photoshop is amazing”

Take a look at what Somizi and Mohale’s fans had to say about the fake tweets:
