Despite the Gauteng Department of Education poking holes in Lani's academic history, as well as his recent arrest that led him to court - Metro FM's Faith Mangope still invited him to her show.
Although the station removed the interview and photos from their social media pages, they have no control over the backlash and negative comments from netizens:
