However, one follower said the parade was not the first of its kind in the area.
"Mbombela has been hosting pride parades, this is not the first one. Speaking as an LGBTIQ activist in Mbombela, Mpumalanga, we have hosted a lot of them," the user said.
Mohale has been vocal about the importance of living his truth.
He spoke to gospel star NJ Kunene about sexuality and faith on his Instagram Live series Let's Talk with Mohale almost two years ago, where he recounted his experience coming out to his parents.
“My dad was the welcoming one, the one who said it was OK. My mom had a few challenges accepting. I gave her time to really come to terms [with it]. I had a lot of conversations with her. I made her understand who I am and nothing has changed about me. I am still her son. I am still the same person she knows, it's just that I had differences,” he said, adding she now accepts his sexual orientation.
