Retired comedian Mongezi ‘Tol Ass Mo’ Mahlangu has been on a vengeful tirade on social media following reports his 2014 rape case was thrown out of court.
Was Tol Ass Mo acquitted in 2014 rape case?
In a statement that’s been doing the rounds on social media, a company named Specialised Security Services, which claims to be a representative of Tol Ass Mo, noted that the former standup comedian was reportedly acquitted in the sexual assault charge lodged by model Lerato Moloi in 2020.
The statement, reportedly crafted by specialist private investigator Mike Bolhuis, further accused Moloi of being “a dishonest, egotistical and a belligerent liar.”
“As representatives of Mr and Mrs Mahlangu and family, we are dedicated to taking this case further: drastic steps will be taken against the accusers,” the statement concluded.
While Tol Ass Mo did not explicitly echo the sentiments of this statement on his Twitter page, he was actively avenging himself against his peers who, in 2020, called for his axing when Moloi surfaced with the rape allegations.
Tol Ass Mo directed his vitriol toward actress Dineo Langa, Samkelo Ndlovu, Penny Lebyane, Ntsiki Mazwai and every person who tweeted support for Moloi. From what we understand, the retired comedian is set to take a page off DJ Shimza’s book and haul his detractors to court for a sizeable defamation suit.
Tol Ass Mo’s budding career came to a screeching halt in 2020 when Moloi claimed she was raped by the comedian on the set of a TV production in Paarl, Western Cape, back in 2014.
“For numerous reasons, I did not open a case at the time and only shared this experience with one of the other participants on the show,” Moloi said in a statement released in 2020.
Mo has been consistent in his vehement denial of the rape allegations. The former standup comedian received the support of his wife, Mome Mahlangu.
Moloi has yet to issue a formal statement addressing the reported case outcome. However, in a tweet posted on Wednesday, the model threw cryptic shade toward Tol Ass Mo and every rape apologist calling for her head on the chopping block.
