Some of y'all are doing to Grace Mondlana what the gays always do to Lasizwe.
YOU are not the target market for everything.
Grace appeals to a younger and specific demo. They love her and enjoy her content. They also show up for her, both online and literally.
I'm not saying she is infallible or above critique when she messes up.
But, some of y'all need to stop expecting her to be YOUR type of celebrity. You didn't make her nor are you her audience.
It's like you in 2025 still being mad that Ghost Hlubi fakes stuff! His audience know, and they are still supporting his hustle.
