Did David Tlale give ‘The Intern’ winner’s car to his mother?

The winner of David Tlale’s reality show The Intern, Kuena Moshoeshoe, has put the designer on blast again for failing to keep his promise.


In December 2017, two months after winning the reality show, Kuena took to the public to air David Tlale’s dirty laundry. She revealed that she had still not received the prizes she was promised, which included a Mercedes Benz CLA, R200 000 in cash and other goodies.

In his defense, David declared that the reason she had yet to receive her prizes was because she had not secured a work permit to be legally employed in South Africa. He explained to Tshisa Live:

“No, she can’t receive that because the first basis is you have to be an assistant designer to David Tlale for a year. The car is there, not going away. It’s not going to be released until Kuane has a work permit… and also Kuena wants us, as a brand, to register the car in her uncle’s name, which is not right and cannot be done that way.”

So you can imagine how upset Kuena must have been when she saw this on social media:

It gets worse. David Tlale’s mother was pictured standing next to the car that Kuena was allegedly promised for winning the show.
