This came after his short-lived social media fame.
Morote, known as “Team Volt SA”, posted a video on social media depicting him talking ill about women.
Commenting on the story of a woman who was killed outside a night club in Sunnyside two weeks ago, Morote said he understood why the man did it.
“You people are blaming that guy but let me say this: that man found a girl, and went out with intentions of having fun,” said Morote.
“Now you (she) just wanted to drink his money and dodge him afterwards, no no no.”
