Comedian Mongezi “Tol Ass Mo” Mahlangu apologises to traditional healer and DJ Gogo Skhotheni for his comments on Podcast and Chill.
During the interview, the comedian claims the Sangoma’s charm affected her pregnancy which might have led to the death of her 2-year-old son.
Taking to Instagram, the DJ’s husband Monde Shange slammed Tol for the inappropriate statements.
Tol Ass Mo issued a public apology for his comments, accompanied by a video of him preaching in church.
“I want to take a moment to sincerely apologise for my words. In the heat of the moment, I spoke without truly understanding the depth of pain that comes with losing a child. I realise now how insensitive my words may have been, and I deeply regret any hurt I may have caused,” he wrote.
“Loss is something no-one should have to experience, and I can’t begin to imagine the pain of those who have. I take full accountability for my words, and I am truly sorry. Moving forward, I will be more mindful and considerate in my speech, ensuring that I lead with empathy and understanding. To anyone I may have hurt, please know that it was never my intention. I appreciate the opportunity to learn and do better. It’s my 39th birthday, but I will not celebrate it until Gogo Skhotheni forgives me.”
