As the dust settles over the widespread social media rumour that actress Katlego Danke is pregnant with billionaire businessman Patrice Motsepe’s child, tweeps have been criticising double standards in the social commentary over the past two days.
Despite the fact that it’s well-known that that 61-year-old Motsepe is married to physician and entrepreneur Dr Precious Moloi, it’s Danke that’s been receiving the brunt of the abuse online.
The notoriously private Danke has remained mum since the rumours started making the rounds earlier in the week, while Motsepe has unsurprisingly reserved his comments.
“So why is Motsepe not helping her financially?” one user responded to the report.
“A while back her house was in arrears, about to be repossessed and she had a son already at that time, and now recently its her car that they want to repossess cause of payments😲😲😲this Motsepe rumours don’t make sense.”

“The fact that it is Katlego Danke who is trending and not Motsepe, who we know for sure that he went to woo at Katlego, convinced her and further impregnated her outside his marriage, really shows that we are the society that hate woman,” added @zenzohlazo, questioning the prevailing double standards.

@23thulz made a similar observation. “Look at Katlego Danke trending while Patrice Matsepe is the on(e) cheating. She is even called names while no one is criticising a man who is betraying his wife. Patriarchy is rife on these streets.”
