Alostro's road to fame!

He never lacks for current events commentary.Alostro is well knowledgeable on both politics and celebrity rumors.

But, one thing that all of his supporters concur on is the nyaope smoker's ability to tell lies.

On social media, the homeless Pretoria junkie rose to stardom.

The Daily Sun got down with him to get his opinion on current events and his rise to stardom.

Alostro, whose actual name is Mohau Louis, told the People's Post that one of his videos went viral on social media and that is when he first became popular.

In the video, a man questioned him over the passing of Senzo Mayiwa.

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.
