After the Saftas had originally released its list of nominees for the 15th annual award show, they were met with major backlash when people quickly realised that Katlego had been nominated in the 'Best TV Presenter' category.

When the video had first been released, Katlego had lost his gig as the Expresso show host and OUTsurance had also decided to replace him. 

He had seemingly lost all support and the Saftas announcement had come as a shock to many.
