Hlaudi-ed by self-love

THE courts may have kicked him out of Fawlty Towers, but Hlaudi Motsoeneng is not down and out.

He does not need to be at Awkward Park to hog the limelight. These days Mr 90% has found a new way of staying in the headlines: he has reinvented himself as the Chief Mourner at celebrity funerals.

He played this role at legend Thandi Klaasen’s memorial service, where, dressed in a pink jacket and shirt, he berated mourners for not supporting artists while they are alive.

He praised himself for once giving Mam Thandi a R50 000 cheque.

Can the self-proclaimed “acamedic intellectu­al” spell narcissist­ic?
