Relebogile Mabotja faces backlash over Paris pantsula video Relebogile Mabotja has found herself at the center of online criticism following a video she posted during her Paris vacation. The award-winning presenter, known for her work on Unpacked with Relebogile Mabotja and 702 Afternoons, shared a clip on social media imitating the iconic South African pantsula dance style while strolling through the streets of Paris. Captioned "Pantsula in Paris!" and set to Trompie’s classic Kwaito track Magasman featuring the late Lebo Mathosa, the video was intended as a playful fusion of cultures. However, it has sparked a wave of negative reactions from South African social media users, who labeled it "cringeworthy" and "weird." Mabotja, who has been documenting her Paris getaway with vibrant posts about exploring restaurants and historic landmarks, donned a bucket hat and mimicked the energetic footwork and gestures of pantsula dancers in the now-viral video. While some saw it as a lighthearted celebration of South African culture abroad, many netizens expressed discomfort, criticizing the execution as awkward and out of place. The backlash has been relentless, with comments flooding platforms like Instagram and X, where users questioned her decision to perform the township-born dance style in such a context. Despite the criticism, Mabotja remains unapologetic. She addressed the negativity, stating, “If my happiness & joy stirs discomfort in you, you should block me. It is only going to get louder & more free.” Her defiance suggests she’s not letting the haters dim her shine as she continues her Parisian adventure.
