BET Africa has decided not to air an interview following outrage as Mongezi ‘Tol Ass Mo’ Mahlangu faces a rape charge. Support those that speak out, don’t glorify alleged perpetrators – Rosie Motene

BET Africa has decided not to air Mongezi ‘Tol Ass Mo’ Mahlangu and Mome’s interview on Behind the Story with Pearl Thusi following an outcry from social media users. Mahlangu is facing a rape charge brought against him by model Lerato Moloi.

Twitter users accused Thusi of being “tone deaf” after she shared her guest line-up – featuring Mahlangu – for her show’s return.

Activist, Rosie Motene is one of many who have backed Moloi.

She sent a voice note to the Midday Report emphasising the importance of corporate and individuals supporting survivors of abuse.

This is a personal plea to corporates, even individuals out there who really want to get behind this and show support. It is about really supporting those that speak out and if possible create platforms or support existing platforms where adequate psyco-social support is given to victims and survivors of abuse. Rosie Motene, Activist

We need to show adequate support for those that speak out and move away from glorifying and supporting and protecting alleged and convicted perpetrators.Rosie Motene, Activist
