Outrage over boozing kid on Our Perfect Wedding

Sunday’s episode of Our Perfect Wedding was trending on Twitter for its episode that shows a child drinking a can of Castle Lite. In pictures that have been circulating on social media, Thembisa Mdoda can be seen talking to the couple getting married while the child is seen drinking the beer in the background.

Some have slammed the parents of the child, saying they must be found and be held responsible, while some are simply holding Mzansi Magic responsible for airing the episode without editing out the faces of the children involved.

These were some of the responses on Twitter:

“#OurPerfectWedding Why is this child drinking alcohol on TV? Today it’s castle lite tomorrow it’s drugs.#OPW #opwmzansi.”

“The parents/guardian of this child needs to be found & held responsible for this and put this child in a place of safety.”

“That kid with a castle lite can in the background. Who’s the aunt that had the keys to the fridge? #opwmzansi #OPW.”

“This should have been edited out! #OPW #opwmzansi @OPWMzansi.”

Head of M-Net’s public relations for local entertainment channels Nondumiso Mabece told Daily Sun they were aware of the images on social media, further stating that the channel did not condone underage drinking.

Who do you think should be held responsible in this case?
