Fans react to Lerato Kganyago who will not be celebrating Valentine’s Day this year

South African media personality Lerato Kganyago has told fans not to expect much on Valentine’s Day this year as she will be “sitting out”.

Known as the “mood setter” for Valentine’s Day in South Africa, Kganyago wants nothing to do with the day this year.

She responded to a fan on Twitter who reminded her that Valentine’s Day was around the corner. In response, Kganyago said: “It should remain in that corner. Re busy ra bereka.”

Another fan replied to her and said: “I see what you’re doing. you’re checking how humongous is the pressure for this year, it’s on girl, we’re looking forward to see this year’s standard, wena you’re the queen of valentine.”

But Kganyago completely shut down any excitement and replied: “I’m being very honest, please don’t expect anything over here. Carry on with your lives lol.”

Kganyago should not be surprised that fans expect her to go big for Valentine’s Day. For the last two years, she and her husband celebrated Valentine’s Day in style.

Last year, her husband surprised her with a purchase of a brand new boutique hotel, restaurant  and spa for their special day.

On Valentine’s Day in 2021, Lerato found her name at the top of Mzansi’s trends list after her hubby booked out the entire FNB stadium and songstress Zonke serenaded them while they enjoyed a candlelit dinner, TimesLIVE reported.
