Mohale finally puts to bed divorce rumours to Somizi

You wanted to know, so we finally got the answer for you! Mohale Motaung’s marriage to superstar Somizi Mhlongo has been much talked about. There hasn’t been clarity for months as to their material status. Amid constant reports of a spilt, trouble in paradise and cheating allegations, Mohale finally cleared the air.

Speaking to The Citizen, the actor said he’s “not getting a divorce”.

“Marriages go through some things, ups and downs,” adding that perception has been a big factor. “People take what they see and they run with it. There was just a phase like any other couple, we are not getting a divorce. Things are okay.”

The two trade what can only be described as sexual, flirtatious and even perverted dance moves, as Makhadzi suggestively touches the man’s private parts.

The South African Music Awards (Samas) distanced itself from any suggestion it was involved in sharing the video. This was theorised by fans after the video went viral and trended on Twitter.
