In Mohale: On the Record, Mohale shares his side of the story
In Mohale: On the Record, after months of keeping mum about the drama surrounding his relationship with Somizi Mhlongo, Mohale Motaung has finally broken his silence. The radio host and social media influencer was married to the choreographer and Idols judge for fewer than two years. Their lavish star-studded union, Somizi and Mohale: The Union, premiered on Showmax in 2020 and got tongues wagging. While their relationship looked like a fairytale to fans, it turns out there was a lot happening behind the scenes and they went their separate ways.
Since then, there has been a lot of bad publicity around their marriage, with Mohale alleging that he was physically and emotionally abused by his ex-husband. Somizi refuted the abuse claims and has addressed the breakdown of his relationship with Mohale on his popular Showmax reality show Living the Dream with Somizi.
Mohale has now received the opportunity to share his side of the story through the tell-all Mohale: On the Record, a Showmax Original. In the sit-down with South African broadcaster Aldrin Sampear, the media personality reveals intimate details about his relationship with the star, from how they met to cheating and assault allegations.

He said they didn’t exchange numbers, but Somizi sent him on social DM (Direct Message). “He made a picmix of our pictures and he said to me, ‘this is how we’re going to look at our wedding day’. I really didn’t take anything seriously because I wasn’t sure what that was,” he said on Mohale: On the Record.Somizi was serious and their connection grew when they went to Swaziland together. “I realised that I actually like him and there could possibly be something that comes out of it this.”
