Uyanda Hlangabezo unbothered by MacG's controversy, embraces Chillers Punch ambassadorship
Big Brother Mzansi season 5 runner-up Uyanda Hlangabezo has been named as an ambassador for MacG's alcoholic beverage Chillers Punch, with fellow contestant Beekay.
Uyanda said the venture felt authentic because he's always been a fan of the brand.
'I am excited to be the first ambassador for the brand, it's huge for me. I'm overwhelmed and excited. I can't wait to start working,' he told TshisaLIVE.
'Myself and people around me drink the beverage, even before I went into the competition. I'll be making people fall in love with the brand which I always do.'
While the founder of the brand MacG, real name MacGyver Mukwevho, is facing backlash after a recent episode of Podcast and Chill where he discussed Minnie Dlamini's break-up with plastic surgeon Brian Monaisa and made derogatory statements about the media personality, Uyanda said he had no issues being associated with the brand regardless of the matter.
Asked whether he would keep endorsing the brand he responded saying 'yes' and declined to comment further.
