‘We should have known better’: MacG apologises over the late Elizabeth ‘Tsontso’ Moselakgomo joke

MacG, host of the podcast "Podcast and Chill," has issued a heartfelt apology for insensitive remarks made during a prior episode concerning the tragic case of Elizabeth "Tsontso" Moselakgomo, who went missing and was subsequently found dead. Apologies were extended at the beginning of the latest episode of "Podcast and Chill." MacG, speaking on behalf of the network and himself, profusely apologized for the comments made during the previous episode.

"We should have known better," MacG stated, acknowledging that seasoned broadcasters like himself and co-host Sol Phenduka could have done better. Moselakgomo, 38, vanished after a run in Rhodesfield, Kempton Park, and her identity was confirmed at the Germiston mortuary on September 14. The comments that ignited public outrage were made while she was still missing.

In the episode, MacG jokingly remarked, "You'd think the lady would keep on running," to which Phenduka added a comment about seeing a number on a runner's bib. MacG acknowledged that the situation should not have been considered humorous, even before Moselakgomo's death. "I'm not trying to make an excuse for what we did," he said, emphasizing that as seasoned broadcasters, they should have handled the situation with more sensitivity. "We should. We know better. We do," he added.
