The incident will not slow down the show’s production, said Cabonge, adding that the show is an important opportunity for him to set the record straight on what a blesser is, because he reportedly feels that people in South Africa do not properly understand the blesser phenomenon.

He does not like the perception that blessers are “buying sex”, whereas he says he just likes to spoil the woman in his life.

Those who condemn Cabonge and blessers may say that if karma was a thing, Cabonge definitely had this coming.
