Mohale Motaung Allegedly Breaks Into Fashion After Dissing Ex-Husband Somizi Mhlongo’s Designs

• Mohale Motaung is reportedly pivoting to the fashion industry after officially launching his new career as a designer
• The reality TV star recently turned heads at a high-profile event, debuting a custom ensemble that he allegedly designed and crafted himself
• After famously throwing shade at his ex-husband Somizi Mhlongo's designs, the pressure was on, with social media users already dissecting every stitch of Mohale's new look

Mohale Motaung has allegedly turned his passion for fashion into a business after hinting at an exciting career as a designer.

The beloved influencer and businessman stepped out in style for the 2026 L'Ormarins King's Plate Racing Festival in Cape Town, wearing an ensemble Musa Khawula claims was designed and crafted by Mohale himself.

Wearing a look that comprised light blue fitted flare pants and a hooded white blazer, Mohale stole the show at the Savannah marquee. Identical to an all-white look he wore back in September 2025 by Lajaqueta Men, his outfit became a major talking point on social media.

According to Musa Khawula, the look was Mohale's way of soft-launching his career as a fashion designer, giving his audience and other fashion enthusiasts a taste of what's to come.

Known for his "soft luxury" aesthetic that effortlessly blends couture with casual elegance, Mohale’s entry into the design world feels like the inevitable next chapter of his style journey. However, some people felt it was all too coincidental.

His soft debut comes on the heels of his ex-husband Somizi Mhlongo's highly publicised designs for the SAMA Awards, where he dressed singers Makhadzi and Zee Nxumalo.

The dresses came under harsh criticism from the online community, with Mohale leading a choir of naysayers with a shady reaction - a move that has now put his own debut designs under the ultimate microscope.
