During the episode, Tumelo Ramaphosa took a swipe at Tebogo Thobejane’s failed assassination.
In her Instagram story, Tebogo highlighted how insensitive it is to turn someone’s suffering into entertainment. Part of her Instagram story read:
“Last week, people were laughing. Ha ha ha this person got shot. Ha ha ha, this person is a joke. High fives on podcasts. Blogs making content. People building platforms off other people's pain. But look now. Look at your ‘content.’ Look at your ‘role models.’ Are they going to joke about this too? Is this funny today?”
Tebogo Thobejane unleashed a blistering clapback at Tumelo Ramaphosa. She called Tumelo out for making a joke out of her trauma during his interview on Podcast and Chill, where he also set the record straight on rumours he dated Eva Modika. Part of the Instagram story reads:
“Some of you stand for nothing except entertainment. Even the President's own son was part of making a joke out of real trauma. This is not entertainment. This is somebody's life. This is children losing parents right in front of them. Still funny?”
