Lasizwe Dambuza is one of many celebrities who found themselves in trouble with the masses after snapping a picture with Arthur Mafokate.
Arthur has a lot of negative PR around him right now. Not only because of 2018’s long-running abuse saga, where his ex-girlfriend and former signee, Busisiwe “Cici” Thwala, accused him of attacking her - but now because of fresh allegations that he has been sexually grooming under-age women for years.
So, when some of Mzansi’s biggest celebrities decided to take pictures with him at this year’s ANC Manifesto Launch 2019, feathers were most definitely ruffled and it didn’t end well for anybody who was associated with the kwaito legend on the day.
While Nomzamo definitely took the brunt of the criticism, Lasizwe didn’t walk away from the exchange unharmed, especially because he was caught retweeting posts of Nomzamo getting shaded:
However, before the criticism could become too hectic, Sis’ Khanyi came to the rescue and apologised on behalf of her younger brother:
He is a child, when an adult calls him for a picture it would be hard for him to decline! I don’t think he meant any harm but just being a child. It was a moment of ignorance. Forgive him https://t.co/MazoB5Knwq
The apology wasn’t so convincing for everybody. Many pointed out that, at the age of 21, Lasizwe certainly ought to be held accountable for his own decisions.
Do you think that Lasizwe is a child, or did he know what he was doing when he took a snap with Arthur?
