The United Democratic Movement (UDM) has lodged a formal complaint with the SA Human Rights Commission (HRC) against former radio personality Ngizwe Mchunu for his homophobic rant on social media.

This comes after Mchunu posted a video on his TikTok account criticising a gay couple who got married at the weekend in African attire.

One of the grooms was dressed in traditional Zulu gear, which infuriated Mchunu.

"You guys are taking the power in our warrior attire and sleeping with each other," he said, among other comments.

"A man that sleeps with another man is rubbish. You guys are causing big problems for us.

"Somizi must take his people and leave this country, South Africa."

He added that gay people who wear traditional Zulu outfits were offending the amabutho (Zulu warriors).
