MultiChoice Stands Strong Amid Backlash: MacG’s Controversial Comments On Minnie Dlamini Shake Mzansi!

Broadcasting giant MultiChoice has found itself in the eye of the storm after controversial podcaster Macgyver “MacG” Mukwevho made disparaging remarks about media personality Minnie Dlamini.

During a recent episode of Podcast and Chill, MacG suggested that Dlamini’s breakup with Dr. Brian Monaisa might be related to her personal hygiene, saying, “There’s got to be something wrong with her; maybe her coochie smells or something.”

His comments ignited a firestorm on social media, drawing widespread condemnation.

MultiChoice Moves to Distance Itself from MacG’s Comments

In response to the backlash, MultiChoice moved quickly to distance itself from MacG’s controversial remarks.

The company issued a formal statement confirming that the episode did not air on any of its platforms, including Mzansi Magic and Channel O.

They assured the public that all content aired on their channels undergoes a strict internal review to comply with South African broadcasting standards.

Despite this, the controversy continues to simmer, especially given the timing of their new partnership with MacG.

The Partnership Under Fire

While MultiChoice has disassociated itself from MacG’s comments, its partnership with him remains under intense scrutiny.

The deal, which began in April 2025, will feature MacG’s podcast alongside others on the broadcaster’s platforms.

Critics have raised questions about how MultiChoice can align itself with a personality who has been so openly controversial.

The partnership has left fans and media personalities divided.

Mixed Reactions from Mzansi on Social Media

On social media, reactions have been mixed. Some users, like @Melo_Malebo, expressed disbelief: “They’re still going ahead with him? Amid all these?”

Others, like @BbwMaturity, called for accountability, stating, “They must teach the young man that the deal with him doesn’t give him the license to say demeaning stuff about women, especially.”

However, not all responses were critical. @KgomotsoMo4384 defended the broadcaster, commenting, “MultiChoice needs him and nobody is going to tell MacG what to do/say because he is self-employed.”

The fallout from MacG’s comments shows no sign of slowing down, with both the broadcaster and the podcaster remaining firmly at the center of a heated national debate.

Will MultiChoice continue to back MacG, or will the growing backlash force a change? Only time will tell.
