The Mohale Motaung’s abuse allegations
On 1st August 2021, Mzansi Twitter went wild after a private conversation that Mohale Motaung had reportedly held with producers of Somzi’s reality show Living the Dream with Somizi was reportedly leaked with a finger of accusation pointed at BarLeader CEO Legend Manqele.
Manqele distanced himself from the leaking allegations and Mohale also denied having leaked the audio himself. He released a lengthy statement on his social media pages voicing his disappointment over the leaked audio conversation.
In the conversation, Mohale Motaung accused his ex-husband- Somizi of physically and verbally abusing him throughout their relationship. In Mohale’s statement, Somizi had started abusing him just a few weeks into their relationship.
Recounting just how bad things had gotten, Mohale recounted how one day, his husband threatened him with a knife after he spent a night at a friend’s house. The actor revealed that when he took his car keys and made his way outside, Somizi grabbed a knife and threatened to kill them both if he walked out of the house.
Mohale also accused Somizi of breaking his ribs a year before and almost breaking two of his teeth in a separate incident.
Mzansi’s reaction to Mohale Motaung’s abuse allegations
As soon as Mzansi got wind of Mohale Motaung’s abuse allegations by Somizi Mholongo, tweeps took to Twitter to condemn Somizi’s actions.
Some tweeps also applauded Mohale for speaking up against the domestic violence he had suffered for a long time and encouraged him to fight to get back together.
And although many tweeps sympathized with Mohale Motaung following his abuse allegations, some were quick to point a finger at him and accuse him of being after Somizi’s money.
These accusations were of course dismissed as Mohale later revealed that he wanted nothing from the divorce except a new car as he claimed that Somizi had wrecked his during their marriage.
Somizi Mholongo’s response to Mohale Motaung’s abuse allegations
Shortly after Mohale Motaung’s abuse allegations against Somizi went viral, Somizi released a statement denying the accusations and terming them as false and defamatory.
In his statement, Somizi denied ever abusing Mohale throughout the time they were together or ever sabotaging his efforts to secure his financial independence.
Although both Somizi and Mohale both requested privacy as they dealt with their separation and divorce, in the past few months we have witnessed more confessions and drama from both sides, and it’s likely to get more intense.
