It is what happened afterwards that got people’s attention.

William wrote to the show this week because his trending girlfriend was embarrassing him. Maria aka “Phuza Gogo” became a cultural phenomenon when she trended for dancing on top of a shack. It sounds like inconsequential fun but there was clearly a real problem.

 

 

 

Viewers noticed that something was wrong after seeing Maria in the same clothes from the show, dancing with alcohol on top of her head. She had clearly not got William’s message and she looked to be having the time of her life at a tavern. The video was posted to Twitter but was originally from TikTok.

Social Media Response

People were quick to post evidence of their theories.

One user wrote, “Gogo went drinking immediately after shooting the show #SengKhathele” alongside the the video of Maria dancing.

While abother user wanted to focus on the positive and wrote, “Dancing is a skill. Talent is talent it will shine on you no matter what. Phuza Gogo is talented, dance is a career. #sengkhathele”

While another had advise for William, writing, “The guy should move on klaar (finish) Maria enjoys alcohol and she chose it.”

I felt bad watching the episode because Maria clearly has a problem with drinking but people just want to be entertained. I hope Mzansi Magic actually reaches out and gives her the help she deserves. Perhaps her life would be even better sober and she just needs to take the plunge with rehabilitation.
