South African social media influencer and YouTuber Mihlali Ndamase has spoken out against a petition that was created for brands to stop working with her. According to Ndamase, who recently spoke to Dineo Ranaka and Sol Phenduka on their Kaya FM breakfast show, her brands will continue to work with her because she hasn’t done anything harmful and has built herself a respectful brand.

Mihlali on why brands are sticking with her

25-year-old Mihlali has shot to the top of social media trends lists ever since she got into a relationship with local businessman Leeroy Sidambe.

The pair’s relationship did not receive a warm welcome from netizens who wondered why MIhlali would get into a relationship with Leeroy who is still legally married to Mary Jane Sidambe.

Shortly after the news broke, the pair appeared in public wearing matching outfits and seemingly making everything official.

It didn’t take long for someone to create a bizarre petition calling on the influencer to be “cancelled” because she was dating a married man.

The petition surprisingly amassed over 3000 signatures which prompted Leeroy to release a statement explaining that he and Mary Jane are separated and that he has “fallen in love with Mihlali”.

Mihlali has also spoken out about the petition and shared that her brands have decided to stick with her.

My work speaks for itself’

“I do believe there is certain bad PR because things that are said can have some sort of harm on your brand but it all depends on what base you established your brand. Your work speaks for itself. Negative PR has nothing to do with how you’ve established your brand.”

She also added that she has done nothing to be cancelled.

“If you are being harmful then you will definitely have an issue with your brand. I’ve had conversations with my brands and I haven’t done anything harmful. I haven’t spoken ill about anyone’s religion.”
