Cape Town — South African actress Thuli Phongolo has not taken kindly to the disrespect she has received lately when it comes to her life choices, and she has set the record straight.
Thuli made an Instagram live video where she caught up with fans and gave them a piece of her mind while she was given sneaky comments, TimesLIVE reported.
“People are so disrespectful forgetting we can also become disrespectful … just because we choose not to be disrespectful doesn’t mean we don’t know how to do so. It just means we know how to treat people well, you think before you say things, you treat people with consideration,” she said.

“Being disrespectful to me doesn’t say anything about me, it says a lot about you because you are the person that finds it easy to disrespect yourself. It makes me think how much more in a negative light you view yourself,” she continued.
Thuli is on the road to recovery following an incident with her partner DJ Maphorisa after he allegedly assaulted her after they were supposed to perform together on a night out. Thuli claimed he became aggressive and grabbed her by the neck an used her as a punching bag.
When a social media user asked her about her current state and whether she was at peace, the media personality responded by saying: “I am definitely at peace.”
