Sports personality Mpho Letsholonyane has issued a public apology after getting major backlash for sharing a cartoon, which implied that Jesus “would rather commit suicide than be Shangaan.” In it, a cartoon character called Jesus is told by a doctor that DNA tests have proven that he is not the son of God but a Shangaan. The character then goes home to “scrub away” his “Shangaaness” before writing a suicide note and attempting to hang himself.
The star removed the video and issued an apology to all those offended by it. She explained that she had seen the video on Mdu's timeline and reposted it.My intention was never to hurt anyone. It’s an old video. Didn’t put any thought into it because Mdu was on the TL and I came across the vid and reposted. An error in judgment on my part. It’s now deleted off my TL Apologies for hurting/insulting you. It was not intentional,” she wrote.
TshisaLIVE damn can't even share a bloody joke these days, lighten up ppl hawu
But she doesn't work at metro fm nje🙄
She must be fired!
For christ sake get a life people.
Ba nyela struu
Haybo but jokes have been made by Zulu /Xhosa ppl and we never take offense, this is an old video and it's just a joke.
You're racist sesi she knew exactly what she posted so congratulations to you for not being a shaangan
That woman is so sanctimonious
Kanti here is about what? Apology or you want her to be jobless 🙏🙏😭😭
Wait a minute balance me here Skhumba makes tribal jokes almost every day and yet these same individuals have never called for Khaya FM to take action against Skhumba
Trevor Noah makes jokes about Indians , blacks and whites , should action be taken against Trevor Noah? Come guys , it's a joke.
Tribalism is a issue that needs a resolution and it relates to discrimination Shangaans need to be respected too
Imagine if Xhosa people cried everytime we got dissed out on these streets😂😂😂
She ddnt even make that video..
Mpho Haykhona Mpho plz stop smoking weed Neh Jesus is Not are Shagaan and never will be even Pictures show white man not Black burnt by Limpompian sunlight Man , Plz stop weed Before you say Ramaphosa is Mugabe's Cousin.
Mpho didn't do anything wrong. The video is funny. Guys expect too much outta people mahn
So she created the cartoon mxm niyanya. The Video was there as back as 2012
Know i see why we are called monkeys is because of this kind of behaviour.
The problem with this video is that this is what people are taught at home, tribalist masquerading as comedians.
tststststststststststststs...wo ti huuuuuuuuuuuu wena M_Letsholonyane
Hey Tsongas fellows remember this joke about Zulus 🍌 and you Tsongas are this 🍆 Did Mpho squeeze it enough to be this small🍌? Just be bigger one man don't be offended like maZulu but I love you.
Times live is a Shangaan 🏃
She messed with the worst religion in the world. Christians. Those one's are not forgiving.
Waiiiii social media judges😏
This is bad. As black peope this is what we do to each other.
Heru , Horus , from lower and upper Kermit , story of Jesus stolen from here , African one but not quite sure if he was a Tsonga
Which Metro FM?
But what's wrong with saying this ai noo come on now! Anyone can choose the tribe they want Jesus to belong, it's scriptural anyway, Jesus said I have come for all nations and not only for the Jews!
Does she work for METROFMSA
Jesus is a story of heru from the old kingdom in Kermit 'Sudan' in the early dynasty , a begotten son of Osiris and Isis ! Shouldn't be a case
Look anyone can says anything, we had free speech in the country and currently people are been pernalized, why ,
Mthura08669003 Just yesterday us Pedis were tissed for always saying my mom this my mom that (bo mma ba rile mafelo a oktouba reo reka disamenta tsa go dira lapa) we were not offended ke Mzansi mo.
Apology rejected, she must be dismissed.
She must be careful, esp with Yeye getting close to pension and bringing a fat salary anymore
This is funny people the is no being tribalism here. It's reminds me back in 2012.😂😂😂
Hawu, why apologise? Even on Nigerian movies, you hear Jesus talking in Nigerian accent. If I would I will claim that Jesus is Mopedi from Mokopane. Own him, no need to feel shame.
Why don't people direct their anger to the creators of that video? Taking action against Mpho is too extreme.
And this is so old... it came out years back🥺😥🥺
pmcafrica The lady Apologised...I don't think she meant any harm..
Fire her
Lol Why is she apologising..that shit is funny😂 .. One can't joke anymore with all this insensitivity
Leave her alone. Stop being dramatic trying to drag a Black woman down, as You White media always do to hardworking blacks
And no one says anything about the JESUS OF THE ANC cartoon. Does it imply that it’s fine when Jesus is of the ANC.
Not alone what about David Thidiela who also promoted tribalism by degrading the Tsongas yet nothing happened to him,racist SAFA and corrupt PSL is dead silent regarding Mr Thidiela
It’s strange that this video has been online for ages and no one ever said anything to the creators of the video.
There's nothing wrong with that video y'all like attention shit
she's married to a ghost and she's a cheater
She M_Letsholonyane was thrilled by tribalist joke and shared it. It says a lot about her behavior and how she views VaTsonga nation. She is a tribalist. Just like racists, she apologize coz she is caught, but she is still holding those views
Mpho still works for Metro?😳
MpoOut
Haii some people just like''chewing gums '''...take everything serious 😫😫😫😫
Dear Vatsonga Did you know Jesus refusing to be 'Shangaan' is actually a joke to be laughed at? 😂😂😂 Angithi you say Zulu men carries a whip 🍆 with them in their trousers because they are not circumcised, you even do the whipping sound when they walk.🤗🤗🤗 Why cry NOW? 😃
CakesNandi Tsonga people have been subjected to discrimination, unwarranted tribalistic mockings and violence during xenophobic attacks.
Mpho left metro fm way before fresh... Dirang research hle
goodbye
Welcome to the 'I'm so offended generation' 🙄 FFS it's just a joke.
Is she working for Metro FM or Supersport 🤷🏾♂️
Why are some Tsonga people acting all gay. Thinking everything is about them! When its others its funny, when its your turn its distasteful. Chill
__Nyankwave Coordinates to the video?
Guys please show me the video
M_Letsholonyane isnt the smartest person on the earth I mean
For what an old video aowa guys. Why didnt people cry back then
What is this promoting? We should be okay with this because a white is being portrayed?
CakesNandi TshisaLIVE She must be suspended like DJ fresh.
I have seen Zulu and Xhosa made fun of a lot and I enjoyed it, it is time someone make fun of me(Mutsonga) and enjoy it🤗🤗🤗🤗 Mara Jesus refuse to be 'Shangaan'😭💔😂😂😂😂
Then Mdu Comics must be arrested.
Guys keep it at Xhosas. They know a joke and they are fun people. The way we've dissed Xhosas on the TL but thier esteem and self confidence is unmatched, they know a joke and will laugh along.
Mpho Letsholonyane is a tribalist period. Just charge her for hate speech abadle ejele once.
So re-posting a funny video is headlines haha ooookay... And why didn't the video get backlash the first time it came out?... Ya'll need to get out and actually find real news not this.
