Public demands the cancellation of Podcast and Chill
The reaction to these remarks has been immediate and severe. Prominent broadcaster Moja Love publicly condemned the statements as offensive and inappropriate. Political figures including ANC representative Khusela Diko have called for increased oversight of podcast content to prevent similar incidents.
Other celebrities and public personalities, including media veteran Penny Lebyane and Dr. Monaisa himself, have expressed their disappointment with both MacG and co-host Sol Phenduka for promoting harmful stereotypes about women through their platform.
Dlamini’s Subtle Response
While Minnie Dlamini has not directly addressed the specific comments, she has made several posts on social media platforms TikTok and X (formerly Twitter) that appear to reference the situation. These posts emphasise themes of personal independence and rejecting attempts to define women solely through their relationships.

History of Controversy Surrounding the Podcast
This incident represents just the latest in a series of controversies involving the podcast. Previous episodes have drawn criticism for inappropriate comments about other female celebrities including Amanda du Pont and Nkosazana Daughter. The recurring pattern has led many to question whether stronger measures should be taken against the show.
Host’s Defiant Stance
Despite mounting pressure, MacG has shown no signs of remorse. Instead, the controversial host has used the attention to promote his new book titled “Uncancelable” on social media, further fueling the debate about accountability in media.
As calls for the podcast’s cancellation grow louder, the situation highlights ongoing conversations about respect, responsibility, and boundaries in digital media content creation.
