Social media users filled the comments section below Phil Mphela’s post with mixed reactions. While some celebrated Bujy Bikwa’s return to the small screen, others criticised Moja Love for giving him a platform, considering that he allegedly assaulted Boity Thulo. Others pointed out the hypocrisy and cited Chris Brown’s highly successful concert in South Africa last year.
Here are some of the comments:
@KingsleyS51936 shared:
“Unpopular opinion- he has served his time for his actions.”
@helen_seip86774 remarked:
“We all deserve a second chance. Welcome back, Bujy baby.”
@LadyHe criticised:
“Ya'll in the comments were the same people packed at the Chris brown Concert! Anything just to show your homophobic natures. A lot of gay people condemned his actions and didn’t just keep mum about it. Ya'll foul for crying the LGBTQIA card when it's just this one!”
@Logdrum_Origins said:
“It had to be Moja Love.”
@__Malebo remarked:
“I thought he was cancelled this one.”
@Bheki1980 highlighted:
“You can't expect someone to be on the sidelines forever. Grow up.”
@kim_khadaso remarked:
“Thank God I no longer have DSTV.”

What happened between Bujy Bikwa and Boity Thulo?
Bujy, born Sthembinkosi Bikwa, is making his return to hosting for the first time since he dominated headlines for allegedly assaulting Boity Thulo.
While Boity Thulo dropped charges against Bujy Bikwa nearly a year and a half after the alleged violent incident, the damage had been done.
In 2023, Bujy Bikwa shared that because of the assault case, he lost his two TV shows and ambassadorship deals, which caused him to downgrade his lifestyle and move from a golf estate to a smaller apartment.
