Lerato Kganyago’s Apology Ignites Fury: "Standing up for another black woman" Backfires
Lerato Kganyago, the South African celebrity, has sparked outrage with her hasty apology for supporting Chidinma Adetshina, the 23-year-old beauty queen who withdrew from the Miss South Africa pageant due to her mother’s alleged involvement in a fraud case.
In a Twitter post, Lerato attempted to justify her actions, saying "All I wanted to do was stand up for another black woman. I apologise to those who have been offended in so doing!" But her words have only poured gasoline on the fire, with many criticizing her for not doing her research and potentially putting her own reputation on the line.
The controversy has brought out the big guns, with celebrities like DJ Sbu and Prince Kaybee also apologizing for their own support of Chidinma. But Lerato’s apology has taken center stage, with many calling her out for trying to have it both ways.
Is Lerato’s apology genuine, or is she trying to save face in the midst of a growing scandal? The people have spoken, and they’re not having it.
