‘Podcast and Chill with MacG’ Is Not Entertainment – It’s Toxic and Dangerous

Women For Change is deeply disturbed by the misogynistic and degrading remarks made by MacG on his podcast regarding Minnie Dlamini. His comments are not only vile and dehumanising but also reflect the deeply rooted toxic masculinity that continues to endanger and humiliate women in South Africa.

MacG’s podcast has consistently promoted harmful narratives disguised as entertainment, spreading sexual innuendos, encouraging victim-blaming, and perpetuating blatant misogyny. His platform is no longer just controversial, it is dangerous. It contributes to a culture that sees women as objects, mocks their pain, and reinforces patriarchal values, all while amplifying these views to millions of listeners each week.

The continued support and monetisation of this content is a shameful reflection of how little brands value the dignity, safety, and humanity of women in this country. The media space has become a breeding ground for hatred, sexism, and humiliation, particularly in a nation already facing a gender-based violence epidemic.

We stand with Minnie Dlamini and every woman who has been disrespected, harassed, or violated by MacG or by someone featured on his podcast.
We call on sponsors, streaming platforms, and the public to hold MacG and his team accountable. Enough is enough.
