MINNIE HAS NO CHILL

MINNIE Dlamini is dragging podcasters MacGyver “MacG” Mukwevho and Solomzi “Sol” Phenduka to the Equality Court for a vrag derogatory comments. 

The complaint cites allegations of hate speech, unfair discrimination, and harassment based on gender, stemming from wild comments made during their online show, Podcast and Chill with MacG.

The controversy erupted over comments made by Mukwevho, who suggested that Dlamini's relationships ended because “her coochie smells”. 

Following her break-up with Brian Monaisa in April, MacG said on his podcast” "Bro, I'm telling you man. There's got to be something wrong with her; maybe her coochie smells or something. 

“You know this happens, man, it happens, especially with the hot girls.”

His comments were met with widespread outrage online and even in Parliament. 

He further labelled the star as a "gold digger," insinuating her interest in wealthy partners was purely for financial gain. The backlash was immediate, forcing Mukwevho to issue what many deemed a half-hearted apology, which Dlamini has publicly rejected.

He extended an invite to Dlamini, saying she is more than welcome to be a guest on the show so they can “squash it” once and for all.

Dlamini rejected Mukwevho’s apology, according to court documents obtained by “Sunday World”. Instead, she is seeking R1 million in damages for the impairment of her dignity and R1.5 million for a women’s organisation, asserting that Mukwevho and Phenduka should face legal consequences.

Before the recent remarks made by Mukwevho, the podcast duo previously made disturbing comments about Dlamini, accusing her of exchanging sexual favours for money and spreading false rumours. Dlamini asserts that these comments constitute hate speech.

Dlamini’s court documents indicate her demand for a court-approved apology from Mukwevho and Phenduka, addressed to her and women in general.

Dlamini submitted: “The respondents shall each, within six months, undergo 50 hours of gender sensitisation sessions, to be administered by the Commission for Gender Equality or an institution or person nominated by it.

“The respondents shall each, within six months, perform 100 hours of unpaid service at one or more institutions working against gender-based violence, to be nominated by the Commission for Gender Equality. 

“The respondents shall, jointly and severally, pay R1 500 000 to Women for Change (a non-profit organisation registered with the Department of Social Development) within 90 days.
