Somizi unimpressed by a text from a journalist

Flamboyant media personality Somizi Mhlongo recently shared a screen-grabbed message from Sunday World reporter Julia Madibogo, who sent a few questions requesting clarity on the media personality’s love life.

This is not the first time Somizi has shared screen-grabs and details of a journalist. In 2021, the Unmasked Singer detective created a lot of controversy after sharing details of conversations where he was not happy with journalists. The screen-grabbed message then shared by Somizi included the journalist’ contact details as well as him adding that his fans may call the two journalists.

The latest message from the Julia read:

“Good day Somizi, hope you are okay. My name is Julia Madibogo from Sunday World newspaper. I am working on a story in regard to you and Pholoso. This is after I realise that you have not posting pictures with him anymore and I understand that he broke u with you and went back to his baby mama. Please see questions below.”

The journalist added three questions which read:

1. “Why did you guys breakup?”

2. “Is mama Kgato the reason or your breakup?”

3. “Are you currently dating anyone?”

Sharing the above message with his 5 million followers, the Sarafina star captioned his post:

“Hey fam pls answer this nonsense for me. And tag them.”
