South Africans divided over Mihlali Ndamase’s decision

Upon seeing the X, social media users gathered in the comment section to express their thoughts about the star’s weight loss journey, with one individual calling the process “artificial.” Other online users felt that Ndamase had no weight to lose, deeming her body “fit.”

“But she already looks good mos,” insisted @Real_Precious_M.

A confused @FifiRefLucsM asked, “Huh, she wants to be skinny?”

Referring to a Hollywood influencer, @Ms_BarbieKM remarked, “Something very Jayda Cheaves about her… Hmmm.”

@W0keTeen shared their opinion in the comment section, writing, “I’ll say it again, who told women that losing weight makes them more attractive? So many females with nice bodies lose weight; I mean, their body, their choice, but aren’t we all chasing attraction? And losing weight for me is definitely not it.”

@Senthaaaaaded sided with Ndamase, commented, “That girl can’t breathe without you guys being in her business.”
