South Africa was first introduced to Mohale Motaung when news broke that he was the mysterious man dating media personality Somizi Mhlongo. Fans went crazy when Mhlongo, who has never spoken publicly about any of his relationships, took to Instagram to announce it.
Now more than two years later, Motaung has become a celebrity in his own right after appearing on Mhlongo’s reality show ‘Living The Dream With Somizi’ and amassing almost 350 000 Instagram followers.

A day later Mohale has cameras flashing as he arrives twinning in black and walking hand-in-hand with Somizi at the show’s premiere in Montecasino. He is one of the new cast members in the educational youth drama joining Thuso Mbedu, Given Stuurman and Ayanda Makayi.

Now the 24-year old is making a name for himself. It was recently announced that Motaung will join the second season of ‘MTV Shuga: Down South’. Motaung will feature on the popular series as an openly gay character called Odirile.

‘MTV Shuga’ first aired in November 2009 and starred Oscar-winning actress Lupita Nyong’o.

The series has moved from Kenya to Nigeria, where it was named ‘MTV ShugaNaija’ and has featured stars like Tiwa Savage and Chris Attoh. In 2017 it moved to South Africa.
