Gogo Skhotheni rejects Tol Ass Mo’s apology over her son’s passing! Renowned South African traditional healer and DJ, Gogo Skhotheni, has firmly rejected comedian Tol Ass Mo’s apology, following his controversial remarks about her late 2-year-old son, Monde Junior.
Tol Ass Mo’s Controversial Statement
Tol Ass Mo recently made an offensive claim on Podcast and Chill, alleging that Sangomas’ use of muthi (traditional medicine) played a role in Monde Junior’s death. His statement sparked immediate backlash, with many calling him out for insensitivity and disrespect.
Realizing the gravity of his words, Tol Ass Mo later issued a public apology, attempting to make amends for his hurtful comments.
Gogo Skhotheni Rejects Apology
Despite his efforts, Gogo Skhotheni refused to accept his apology, making it clear that she did not believe it was genuine. She took to social media to express her anger and frustration, stating that she was tired of people speaking ill about her late son and then apologizing only after facing backlash.
“No, I am sick and tired of people speaking ill about my late son and then apologizing when I retaliate. You knew exactly what you said and what you meant. If you were truly sorry, you should have apologized right after the interview or the following day.”
She added that she felt her son was being disrespected continuously, as he had become a target of negative comments every month.
“I won’t forgive you. Stay away from my son. I am sure wherever he is, he regrets being my son because every month, something bad is said about him. You are not sorry at all. You know exactly what you said, so leave me alone.”
Monde Shange Also Responds
Gogo Skhotheni’s husband, Monde Shange, also came to her defense, condemning Tol Ass Mo for his insensitive remarks.
In a lengthy social media post, Shange expressed his deep disappointment at the comedian’s actions. He criticized him for disrespecting their grief and using their son’s death as a topic for entertainment.
“There are lines that should never be crossed, and one of them is speaking on the loss of someone’s child with disrespect and ignorance,” he wrote.
He further stressed that no grieving mother should have to endure such false accusations, urging Tol Ass Mo to respect their loss.
“This isn’t something to speculate about or use for attention—it’s our real life, our real pain.”
Apology Deleted
Following the intense backlash, Tol Ass Mo quietly removed his public apology from his social media platforms. This further fueled skepticism about his sincerity, with many believing that he only apologized to control the damage to his reputation rather than out of genuine remorse.
Public Reactions
The incident has divided public opinion, with some supporting Tol Ass Mo, saying that apologizing is a sign of maturity, while others side with Gogo Skhotheni, arguing that certain things should never be said in the first place.
Many social media users have called for more accountability in the entertainment industry, urging celebrities and public figures to think before they speak—especially when it comes to sensitive topics like the loss of a child.
Conclusion
While Tol Ass Mo may have attempted to apologize, his controversial statement has left deep wounds that cannot be easily healed. Gogo Skhotheni and her husband have made it clear that some words cause irreversible damage, and a simple apology does not erase the pain caused by such reckless remarks.
The incident serves as a reminder of the power of words and the importance of respecting others’ grief, especially in the public eye.
