Former radio presenter MacG chats to fellow YFM alumni, Sol Phenduka about transgender women referring to them as 'shemale' and women with male private parts. A clip of an episode of Mukwevho's podcast, called #PodcastWithMacG, was posted on Twitter on Monday. In it, the former radio presenter chats to fellow YFM alumni Sol Phenduka about transgender women referring to them as "shemale" and women with male private parts. They also joke about how a number of famous men have had relations with transgender women in the past.

Many were outraged by the utterances and called on Mukwevho's sponsors, including Old Mutual, to immediately disassociate themselves with him. Old Mutual was quick yo respond to the outcry and released a statement announcing it was cutting ties with Mukwevho. In 2020, Mukwevho was fired by youth station YFM after Broadcasting Complaints Commission of South Africa (BCCSA) fined the youth station R15,000 over his homophobic remarks.
