Mohale also posted a spicy tweet earlier today which fans felt was indirectly aimed as a jab at Somizi and his friends, especially Vusi Nova. Mohale wrote, “When an idiot doesn’t like you, they link up with other idiots that don’t like you and before you even know it, it’s a hating group of fools that don’t like you! [The] funny part is, [that] they don’t like each other but they have one thing in common… YOU”
This tweet comes to context following the first episode of Living The Dream With Somizi Season 5 where the star Somgaga catches up on a phone call with Vusi Nova to talk about Mohale and their divorce. Somizi called Mohale a liar and basically insinuated that he wanted to use his name for financial gain when he alleged that the media personality had abused him numerous times during their marriage.
