What the crap is Outsurance doing with this Elana Afrika ad campaign? It looks a cheap, waterred diwn version of Katlego Maboe’s. They should have left the drivers rather

Bring back Katlego. Where he shoves his private parts is none of the public business.

While he is down he is certainly not out as his old ad of him modelling for PlayBoy resurfaced, and the internet went berserk.

Katlego Maboe had people all over the internet amazed at his supposed “comeback” after a poster of him modelling for Playboy, advertising their partnership for a new fragrance. The partnership started in November 2019 with Maboe as the ambassador for their new fragrance collection. Playboy launched its Signature Collection with fresh new packaging and unveiled an Eau De Toilette (EDT) collection to complement the range.
Playboy brand custodian Jack Kruger said at the time, no one person embodies the new Signature line as closely as Maboe: “As a television host, personality, singer, model and father, Katlego is at a point in his life where he’s able to look back over his achievements and feel a sense of accomplishment, while still being motivated to achieve more.”
Well fast-forward to almost a year later, Katlego seems to fit the brand oh-so very well as he had been given the title ‘Playboy’ after his sex scandal. If anything, many of his supporters believe that if he would partner with Playboy again or work on another campaign with Playboy, he would make the ‘comeback of the decade.’
It’s not photoshopped but the picture is part of a campaign that’s been running since November 2019.
Katlego Maboe has been the face of Playboy Signature collection since 2019. These posters have been in stores for just as long. https://t.co/7cpAWvKQJM pic.twitter.com/ITnSFGcqyo

Expresso presenter found himself in the middle of a huge social media storm after he admitted to cheating on his wife. It was then revealed that the woman he allegedly cheated with was Nikita Murray. Maboe stands by his word and denies abusing Monique. He says he is fully committed to follow the course of the law.
On the STD issue, Katlego says: “The allegations about the STD are unproven.“
Katlego’s name got tainted once more after another sex scandal came to light after he allegedly had sex with a competition winner for a brand he was working for at the time.
New revelations in You Mag allege— Maboe, as Lay’s Chips ambassador at the time, had sex in a hotel in Kiev with a woman who won competition hosted by the brand.
“While the cheating & STD revelations were a private matter and Maboe could have survived it, latest revelations alleging he used his position for sex may be harder to overcome.
The sex was reportedly consensual but this will hurt his chances of ever working with brands”
