Controversial Blogger Phil Mphela Says He Will Not Tweet For R150

Phil Kgopolo Mphela is probably one of the country’s major entertainment critics. Over the course of his decade-long career, he has carved out a niche market as an entertainment critic, mostly using Twitter as his primary means of delivering the newest television, radio, and publishing news.

However, it appears that, as a result of his popularity on the blue app, he has exposed himself up to harassment from other Twitter profiles wanting to capitalize on his lucrative business strategy. As a result, Mphela recently had to deal with trolls in the aftermath of his controversial tweet.

“Phil Mphela will not tweet for R150” A few days ago, Mphela found himself in hot water with tweeps when he took to his timeline to address how Musa Mseleku and the entire Mseleku clan have allegedly cornered the Mzansi Magic market.

Specifically, this was in light of the Mseleku clan receiving yet another spin-off from their successful Uthando Nesthembu reality show. Only this one would focus on the second generation of the Mseleku family.

While Mphela took his “L” at the time, it seems that tweeps did not forget. As such, when he attempted to add his commentary on why e.TV was not allegedly pushing its recent new addition to its weekday late-night programming Smoke & Mirrors as much as it was the likes of Isitha and Nikiwe.

Tweeps were quick to let him have it suggesting that he did not know what he was talking about as the telenovela managed to dominate trends despite his unfounded sentiments.

However, as Mphela came across as defensive, Promotional Twitter made sure they breathed down his neck. A fact which seemingly resulted in him needing to close his comments to only allow for his followers to comment on his posts.

This enabled him to announce the casting changes on SABC 1’s flagship and most-watched soapie Uzalo in his most recent tweets. This comes as the hit isiZulu soapie has confirmed the addition of The Wife’s Lindo Mojalo and Sibusisiwe Jili as new cast members.
