Minnie Dlamini sues MacG for R2.5 million over harmful comments! TV personality Minnie Dlamini has launched a R2.5 million lawsuit against podcaster MacGyver “MacG” Mukwevho and co-host Sol Phenduka, citing hate speech, harassment, and gender-based discrimination, according to Sunday World.
The case was filed in the Equality Court following remarks made on the Podcast and Chill show. During an episode, MacG made speculative comments about Dlamini’s personal life, implying her relationship issues might be linked to hygiene concerns — claims Dlamini called dehumanizing and damaging to her dignity.

Seeking Compensation and Social Justice
Dlamini is demanding R1 million for damage to her dignity and R1.5 million to be donated to a women’s rights organisation. She also highlighted that the podcast has a long history of harassment, especially after she publicly supported Amanda du-Pont in a separate gender-based violence case.
Government and Public Reaction
Deputy Minister Mmapaseka Steve Letsike condemned the podcast’s remarks, labelling them gender-based violence and referring the case to human rights bodies for further action.
Dlamini has rejected MacG’s apology, insisting that true accountability can only come through the legal system.
