The CEO and founder of the MySportsBook app has been trending over the past couple of days, but not for great news. It is alleged that Mokoena is financially strained and has allegedly been struggling to pay staff salaries at his online publication for months. According to Sunday World publication, staff members at The Joburg Post, an online news and media company Mokoena owns, told them that he becomes arrogant when it is time to pay them their monthly wages. All that he does is make empty promises.
Mokoena is yet to publicly address the accusations leveled against him. Instead her took just took to social media to post traveling content. He is currently in the US, living his best life. Mokoena even traveled in style, boarding business class, which doesn’t come cheap.
“Traveling is good, but Business class better, JFK Airport New York City…,” he captioned one of his pictures.
