Limpopo singer Makhadzi sparked controversy with her comments on Mawhoo’s appearance. Makhadzi suggested that Mawhoo, also a Venda artist, needed a man to stress her into losing weight. This remark didn’t sit well with fans, who accused Makhadzi of fat-shaming. Social media users expressed their disapproval, reminding Makhadzi of her past experiences with being bullied over her looks. Users like @melo_mothapo and @mikhosmihle criticized her for making such insensitive comments, while others mocked her for her poor English and suggested she lacked the standing to criticize others.
Amidst this, a separate social media incident involved radio personality Sizwe Dhlomo, who critiqued singer Tyla for a grammatical error regarding her race, which also drew mixed reactions from the public.
Both events highlight the ongoing discourse on social media about body image and the importance of mindful communication, especially among public figures.
