Netizens slam Anele Zondo's BBL

Anele Zondo is being criticised on social media after she showcased her new figure in a Twitter (X) post on 10 August 2025.

The rapper recently opened up about going under the knife to correct her hip dips, where fat was removed from her stomach and transferred to her hips. She was vocal about her insecurities and wanting to correct that part of her body.

However, social media users claim her surgery was botched and have pointed fingers at the late celebrity surgeon, Dr Pertunia "Pert" Mathibe, who tragically passed away on 31 July 2025.

Dr Pert is known to have helped several South African celebrities achieve their body goals, including Lethabo "LeJoy" Mathatho, Cindy Makhathini and Gorgeous Mbali.

But alas, social media users claimed she has blood on her hands for what she allegedly "did" to Anele.
