Lerato Kganyago. Lerato Kganyago.
True Love Magazine is receiving major hate after revealing the cover of their June issue.
Metro FM's Lerato Kganyago, aka LKG, and her fans were not impressed with the final product.
The media darling’s followers took to Twitter to slam the publication for what some called “photoshop gone wrong', using #photoshopmustfall.
For the cover story, LKG opens up about “losing her baby, heart break and being ready for love”.

Lerato also took to social media to express her disappointment regarding the cover issue.
She wrote on Instagram: “Nick Boulton is on of the most amazing photographers in the country. He captured me beautifully, it must be disheartening even for him to have his work continuously retouched (PhotoShopped) to a point of no recognition.”
“I had an amazing shoot though and the article beautifully captured,” she added on Instagram.
Here's True Love's response to the furore:

Also, shaming Lerato is not going to make the cover look any better True Love. It's still a bad cover.

2009 True Love botched Lebo Mashile's cover and made her less curvy. She complained, they apologised. Do the same @leratokganyago💁
