Somizi Mhlongo-Motaung’s fans and followers have lashed out at the star for describing his friends as “poor”.
Somgaga posted a video on Twitter of his holiday at a nature reserve in Ematendeni where he and his friends are currently glamping.
In the video, Somizi was standing on the top of a treehouse looking down on his friends. He then screamed out jokingly to them from up above “hello poor people”.

One user, @mavsipho, said: “Yoh, poor people. that is so mean and degrading. never expected that from you, thought u encourage n motivate people. but with all the headlines u making lately, I can believe it. disappointing”. (sic)

This infuriated tweeps even further.

However, @Mangwelicious1 said: “We are materially poor indeed SomG but rich in spirit.We are grateful for the little we have dear and we are also happy that you have really made it in life and we pray for more blessings upon your life. Enjoy SomG”.
