Lerato Kganyago has no time for haters.
The Metro FM DJ proved this after being bombarded with “hate” following the SAMAXXI broadcast on Sunday evening. Lerato, who was responsible for interviewing award winners in the “Green Room”, received negative comments from people on social media for her performance behind the scenes.
Some said she was trying too hard, while others felt like she was trying to be Bonang Matheba.
No matter how well lerato brushes off the claims, she Does sound like bonang. She must accept public feedback, reflect and start again.

I was in the kitchen and thought Bonang has taken over. Has Lerato's voice always been like this? #SAMAs

But you know what? Lerato is not moved by any of this. The DJ, who has come a long way in her career, has clearly developed a thick skin. She basically told her haters where to get off.
I've come a long way, "shades" from peers mean NOTHING to me, giving me constructive criticism, to help me grow, now thats GROWN UP stuff!??
