Lerato Kganyago has exposed social media trolls who bullied her for supporting Miss South Africa contestant Chidimma Vanessa Onwe Adetshina, who has been at the centre of a debate about her eligibility to represent South Africa.

The media personality, who is a resident judge for this year’s Crown Chasers, faced backlash for weighing in on the issue which saw her being mocked for the miscarriages she experienced over the years.

Lerato went live on Instagram recently, saying women sent her vile messages. 

“I'm celebrating my sisters today,” she said.

DJ Prince Kaybee took to his timeline in Lerato's defence writing; “Tone it down a bit. Not everyone is bulletproof.”

Over the years, Lerato has been candid about her devastation at losing children.

In February, the Metro FM host revealed she suffered a miscarriage when she shared a picture of a sonogram and recounted the loss of her baby in a series of posts.

“Pardon my silence. This was the happiest but became the most painful part of this month of love. Thank you to my supportive colleagues, my bosses, my family and my friends. I'm strong and will never give up,” she wrote.

“On the 12th is when my incredible gynae broke the news. I'm much better than last week, my parents have been next to me and have carried me. Thank you to those that have been checking on me. I was so hopeful. I'm a phoenix. I will be back. Dear Feb', You've hurt me.”
