Mihlali Ndamase has responded to people who allege that she had her figure sculpted by going under the knife.

Inquiring minds want to discover the secret behind the star’s enviable physique. When she posted a picture of herself in a bikini beside the pool, it sparked a flurry of interest.

A tweep stated she couldn’t have a physique like hers without having undergone a tummy tuck or liposuction.

In his words: “These individuals work out for a few days, make a fuss about it, then have procedures and then come back with new bodies, MXM.” “There is no way Mihlali could have dropped weight so quickly.”

In response to this, Mihlali sent a series of tweets in which she clarified that she followed a diet to achieve her 2021 body goals.

For those who don’t know how frightened I am of having surgery, you’d understand why I’ve chosen to diet till I reach my ideal weight, then get a mami. Let’s imagine I had a procedure done, why is it your concern? “Hayi bandla,” you say.

“I had surgery when I was updating my articles about my weight loss?” Going plant-based and s**t. I’m going to tell you all about it. Lol Niyaboniswa, shame.

“I wish y’all wouldn’t be strange about how hard I worked to obtain this body. Even when I was at my thinnest, I had hips, so what gives with my physique now? Mihlali chimed in with an addition.
