Mzansi’s celebrities who have been accused of skin bleaching

Bleaching their skin is a common practice among South African celebrities. In the entertainment industry, looking good is a full-time job for most celebrities. The term “pretty privilege” refers to the belief that attractive people are given preference over less attractive people. Imagine Uncle Waffles, Thuli Phongolo, and Boity Thulo.


These famous people may be skilled in their respective fields, but they also benefit from their attractiveness. Today, we’ll take a look at the A-listers who’ve been accused of using skin lightening products.

1) DJ Zinhle.

Anyone familiar with Zinhle will know that she used to have darker skin. Don’t worry about the dollar signs or the title, just look at the skin deep. There is some doubt as to whether or not she actually bleached her skin.

2) Bonang Mabtheba.

Bonang is now noticeably lighter than she was in the past. The photo shows her both before and after she was crowned Queen B.

3) Ayanda Ncwane.

Until a photo of her and her late spouse was posted online, Ayanda Ncwane’s light skin tone remained a mystery. It’s easy to see the progression from her younger self to her present self by comparing the two photographs.

4) Khanyi Mbau

Khanyi Mbau, on the other hand, clearly has some sort of alteration to her complexion. People have said that Khudzai’s wife bleached him.

5) Kelly Khumalo

This hun’s goal is to shine brightest and tower highest. They say Kelly lightened her skin. Look at the picture of her before and after she was crowned queen of mzansi to see the difference.
