MacG issues apology to Minnie Dlamini

MacG has finally apologised to actress and media personality Minnie Dlamini for his statement that caused a massive uproar on social media. The star angered women all over the world when he suggested that Minnie Dlamini was not able to keep a relationship for long because she may have body odour. MacG's sentiments came after Minnie broke up with plastic surgeon Dr Brian Monaisa, after dating for a few weeks.

The clip grabbed the attention of several people, including Dr Brian Monaisa, who defended Minnie and called out MacG and his co-host, Sol Phenduka. The Deputy Minister for the Department of Women, Youth and Persons with Disabilities, Mmapaseka Steve Lesike, also summoned MacG to parliament to discuss the matter.

Speaking in a clip shared on X by a user with the handle @_mashesha, MacG apologised to Minnie for his statement. He also noted that his statement was blown out of proportion. He said:

"I would like to apologise to the female chillers and South African women in general that I might have offended with that comment. That was not the intention. You know, we never say stuff to offend anyone."

MacG also extended an invitation to Minnie Dlamini to go on the Podcast & Chill. He added:

"I also want to extend an invitation to Minnie Dlamini. I want to invite her to the show. You are more than welcome to come. This thing started on the podcast; let's end it on the podcast. She's said some things, and I have said some things. Let's squash it once and for all."

Podcast & Chill co-host Sol Phenduka applauded MacG for apologising, however, he doesn't believe that Minnie Dlamini will accept going to the show after the horrible things that have been said about her.

Briefly News asked financial expert Fulufhelani Mashapha what professionals should keep in mind financially when dealing with defamation cases. She explained:

"Defamation lawsuits can carry significant reputational and financial consequences for professionals. Legal representation in such cases is often expensive, making it essential to plan ahead for potential legal costs."

Fans react to MacG's apology

Social media users also applauded MacG for issuing an apology and hoped that this thing would finally end. However, some people believe the podcaster's apology was not sincere, and he only issued it because sponsors were allegedly pulling out of his show.
