It didn’t take long for potentials to try their luck.
One tweep commented with: “Go to PPE beneficiaries.Or finish Matric and persue (sic) career do that your Daughter can respect you.”

Mbau immediately jumped in and said: “You are broke aren’t you!!!”

The Twitter exchange soon turned nasty, but fans came to her defence.
A real man who was raised by a real woman can never never bully a woman never🤞🤞But if you where raised by bullies you become a bully graduate
The trolling comments did nothing to dampen the spirits of those who wanted to date the ’Mbau Reloaded, Always Rise’ star.

Mbau recently ended her 10-year relationship with Tebogo Lerole.
In July this year, the couple announced their split via social media.
“Guys, we have been here before, certainly words I uttered before … Our second attempt grew us even further apart,” the actress wrote.
“Tebogo Edward billion has chosen to take a different path and (I) have chosen to respect it and let him soar in his greatness (sic).
“And by this we are no longer an item.”
