HE always has something to say about current affairs.

Be it celebrity gossip or politics, Alostro knows it all. 

But one thing all his followers agree on is that the nyaope smoker can lie through his teeth. 

The homeless addict from Pretoria has gained fame through social media.

Daily Sun sat with the man to get his take on current Affairs and his newfound fame.  

Alostro, whose real name is Mohau Louis, told the People's Paper that he started trending when one of his videos came out on social media. 

In the video, a man asked him about the late Senzo Mayiwa’s death.  

His response on the video left many in stitches causing motorists to take videos of him whenever they came across him at the robots.

 He told Daily Sun that he loves entertaining people. 

“I wasn’t aware when people took videos of me,” he said.

He said he didn’t like it before because it didn’t bring him money. 

“I don’t have a phone, so I don’t see these videos,” he said. 

Alostro said the only thing he likes about the videos is that they make him famous. 

“Everyone knows me now. When I walk and sell my things here in town people call out my name and take pictures and videos of me,” he said. 

He said that he would like to be on TV one day. 

The vibrant salesman said he has been living on the streets because he lost all his family members. 

“I am alone now, I had a kid but they also took him away from me, so I am all I have,” he said. 

He sells combs, needles, threads and toothbrushes on the streets of Tshwane CBD. 

“I would like to be on TV and be a comedian. I like entertaining people and making them laugh. I also love music,” he said.
