Somhale DIVORCE: What Mohale Motaung has been up to

Although actor Mohale Motaung has received a significant amount of hate following the abuse allegations he made against his estranged husband, Somizi Mhlongo, he has been as active as ever on social media.

Earlier this month, audio clips between Mohale Motaung and the producers of Somizi’s reality show Living The Dream With Somizi were leaked. In the audio clips, Mohale Motaung claimed that his estranged husband had physically and psychologically abused him, sabotaged his professional relationships with the Fergusons and more.

Following the audio clips, many Tweeps surprisingly took Somizi’s side and labelled Mohale as a “gold digger”. However, Mohale has not let the hate get to him as he continues to live his life and share it on social media.

In the aftermath of the audio clips, both Somizi and Mohale confirmed their divorce via personal statements released on their respective Instagram accounts.

“As far as the divorce itself is concerned, my only aim is to have it finalised fairly and reasonably,” said Somizi at the time.

“I wish to confirm that we are indeed in the process of a divorce,” said Mohale.

So, what has Mohale been up to since then?

ON THE ‘GRIND‘
Mohale has been working hard. According to his Instagram biography he is the CEO of Glam Troupe, an styling company that offers matric dance makeovers.

“A day at the office. 😌,” wrote Mohale on Instagram.

Mohale celebrated his 26th on 9 July which means he falls under the 18-35 age group that were allowed to get vaccinated from last week. Mohale along with other celebrities such as Sho Madjozi have been using their large followings for good and advocated for getting the COVID-19 vaccine.

“Vaccinated boys worldwide. 😎😁 Have you been vaccinated yet?,” he wrote on Instagram.
