One thing about the internet is that it never forgets, and a recently resurfaced video became the final nail in the coffin of Lerato Kganyago's hotel scandal.

A video of the radio personality celebrating the purchase of the luxe 12 On Hillel Villa and Spa resurfaced on social media and caused quite a buzz.

This was after Lerato was exposed as not the real owner of the hotel, despite having paraded on social media for years and advertised it as her own.

What was once a joyful moment turned sour years later when the swanky establishment was named in a corruption scandal in the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry as a rendezvous spot for crooked cops.

12 On Hillel Villa later clarified that it had no knowledge of the alleged meetings held in its facilities, further stating that it does not condone being used as a hub for criminality. It also confirmed that Kganyago was not associated with the hotel in any capacity, news that sent many online users on a tailspin.

Social media had a field day dragging Lerato Kganyago to filth for misleading her supporters.
