Somizi Mohale’s fiance has bagged himself a job on TV.
The much-anticipated second season of MTV Shuga: Down South has added a familiar celebrity face to its already star-studded cast.
Johannesburg entrepreneur, model and actor Mohale Motaung will be featuring on the popular and informative series in the role of the openly-gay Odirile.
Mohale said: “MTV Shuga has proven to be a powerful catalyst for informing and positively affecting the lives of young people across the continent and I am thrilled by the opportunity for dialogue that this role presents.
“While same-sex marriage is legal in South Africa, so many people are still shunned by those closest to them for being open about their sexuality.
“As an openly-gay man, I’m fortunate to have the support of my family and my fiancé, Somizi, but not all South African youth, especially those growing up in conservative and traditional households, experience the same level of acceptance.
“That’s why programmes like MTV Shuga play such a crucial role in informing the youth and helping them realise they are not alone.”
