Drink moroto wa tonki: fans poke fun at Trevor Noah's MAMA withdrawal

Trevor Noah announced earlier today he has withdrawn as the host of the MTV MAMAs after doctors ordered him to rest.

In a lengthy statement on his Twitter page Trevor said that he has a respiratory and ear infection and would not be able to host the show.

"Due to the infection and strain on my vocal chords the doctor has ordered me to rest. I desperately wish I could dismiss the doctor but the added risk of flying means the decision would be highly irresponsible  and may cause further damage."

While Trevor said that he is disappointed and MTV has announced that Bonang Matheba would step in, his fans have been poking fun at the comedian.

His official Facebook fan page has been filled with comments by South Africans taking shots at the star.

"Haai Trevor you're becoming soft man. You should have spoken sooner, you know ugogo at that house would have fixed inton-nton and you'd be sorted. This was not a time for western medicine baba," wrote Modjadji Setlhake .

• Bonang to replace Trevor Noah as MAMAs hostMTV announced on Friday morning that Bonang Matheba would be hosting the MAMAs after Trevor Noah had to cancel his appearance. 

"This modern things have ruined. Flight for what Trevor? Let me call mamjiji to transport you via electrical earthing(legadima) you will be here now now. And drink moroto wa tonki. You will be fine DDW," said Gift Walter Phetolo Sefoto .

"Come on Trevor...you are BLACK dude....we, black man do not complain about minor things like a VOICE....voice Trevor??...don't you have paraffin there?? Or Jeyes Fluid?? Or maybe spirit vinegar, just one teaspoon big guy and you good to go," added Muziwandile Mzwah Magwaza .
