Gigi Lamayne Calls Out SA Celebs

Rapper Gigi Lamayne has called out South African celebrities who have been vocal about the murder of George Floyd, but have remained silent over the killing of Collins Khosa.

The recent death of Floyd – an African American man – at the hands of four police officers has triggered widespread protests in the United States of America, and beyond.

The likes of Bonang Matheba, Thapelo Mokoena and Minnie Dlamini among others have lent their support to the #BlackLivesMatter movement.

However, Lamayne has slammed local celebs via Twitter for not speaking up about Khosa, who was allegedly killed at home by South African National Defence Force soldiers on 10 April.

The “Bozza” hotmaker wrote on Saturday, 30 May: “Since we copy so much from Americans, can we at least also copy how their celebs stand with the people?I know it’s “not paying” but wow!”

Calling on everyone to celebrate and defend black people, she added: “We can be such social media politicians when it comes to whos [sic] fashion sense sucked most but #CollinsKhosa #JusticeforCollinsKhosa [sic] some people don’t even know who that is.”
