After being cancelled on social media, Shandu suffered a blow when the Sebenza Women's Awards board demoted him.
According to ZiMoja, the board handed Kini's project manager post to Gugu Mandonsela, a move the actor supported:
"Having a strong, powerful woman on the front line makes sense. We are happy to be back to award women who make a difference in our country. Despite my demotion, I am still glad to be part of the awards."

"To anyone I offended, I extended my heartfelt apology. I understand the gravity of my words' impact and take full responsibility for the distress they cause.
"I respect social media platforms because they can easily make or break anyone. It's important to honour others' viewpoints when we post. We shouldn't cancel each other over disagreements; let's share our opinions respectfully."
