Nelson Mandela's great-grandson, Mayibuye Melisizwe Mandela, recently trended for all the wrong reasons as he broke his silence after his bizarre interview on Podcast and Chill with MacG and Sol Phenduka.
Mayibuye apologises to Minister Zizi Kodwa
What a way to start off the week. Mayibuye Mandela made headlines once again after he accused Mzansi police of brutally assaulting him in May 2021 in the Eastern Cape.
Not so long ago, the young Mandela released a public apology to the Minister of Sports, Arts and Culture, Zizi Kodwa, after his bizarre podcast interview where he passed rude and insulting remarks about Kodwa. In the apology he posted on his Facebook page, he wrote:

"I am writing this letter to sincerely apologise for the inappropriate language I used during a recent episode of the MacG podcast. Upon reflection, I realise that my choice of words, specifically referring to Minister Zizi Kodwa as a boy, was disrespectful and unacceptable.
:My intention going to MacG podcast and Chill was to raise funds for the Mandela house with the hopes to keep the Mandela home within the family and uphold the legacy for Tata’s children, great grandchildren and grandchildren. I was not sent by any family members and did this on my own free will."

DJ Sbu defends MacG from gatekeeping claims
Briefly News reported that DJ Sbu defended MacG from Podcast And Chill after Penuel The Black Pen accused him of gatekeeping.
Without trying to create animosity between them, Penuel said MacG's only focus is to grow his podcast. He said he does not visit other podcasts, which comes across as gatekeeping in his opinion.
