With millions of fans across multiple social media platforms, celebrities often subjected to cyberbullying but this time actress and television presenter Khanyi Mbau would hear none of that.
She didn’t waste any time, she hit back at a troll, and said she will not be quiet especially now with the shocking rise of rape and femicide in South Africa.
This follows a distasteful post by a Twitter user, who goes by @Dannymotopi, suggesting he’s one of the few men who haven’t had sex with the Mbau.
He wrote: “I’m one of the 6 guys in the world who has never slept with a Khanyi Mbau.”

Though some suggested that Mbau must not waste her time entertaining, others dragged the troll for disrespecting women with his ‘disgusting’ comment.
No. This is a national crisis right now. We have to speak up.

Fans of Mbau rallied behind her, with some highlighting that the man in question could be a sexual predator, others made references to his previous unpalatable tweets.
Thank you sis, cause abusers spun from such utterances. We need to shame man who fail to recognize that their words,action and touch are part of the problem. We are done ignoring, we are done saying it's only for likes. What he has said is what is wrong with SA men💔💔💔
