Anele Zondo’s Clapback Backfires? – SA Says Her Makeup Revenge Video Is Giving… Delulu Energy

Rapper and actress Anele Zondo thought she ate — but according to Mzansi, she left the whole plate right there on the counter.

After being dragged for filth on X when a badly blended makeup look resurfaced, Anele returned weeks later with a “revenge glam” video. But instead of shutting down the trolls… she may have just poured more petrol on the fire.

Anele Zondo’s Clapback Leaves Mzansi Confused

On Wednesday, 10 December 2025, Anele decided it was time to address the viral roast that had her trending for all the wrong reasons. She posted a transformation video captioned: “From myself & penthouse beauty 😘”

Cute, right? Except the video ends with her makeup artist dramatically sliding the viral troll screenshots open like cheap curtains — and boom! — Anele appears in a fresh glam look looking unbothered.

Well… trying to look unbothered. Because according to the streets, the new look? Let’s just say Mzansi is not convinced.

Mzansi Reacts: “Girl… This Was Not the Flex You Think It Was.”

The comment section turned into a public execution — and the people were not holding back.

Critics wasted NO time:

• “Well, this is rather embarrassing.” – @Modimonthatilee
• “The issue was the TERRIBLE makeup. Why is this hard to grasp?” – @Ntombenhle124
• “You wrote the same test and got the same marks.” – @the_blue_beary
• “How is this better?! 😩😭” – @EkseZithini

Others were confused why she was even mad in the first place:

• “Nobody called you ugly. The makeup just didn’t match your skin tone.” – @its_khumo
• “Misdirected anger. Your own makeup artist sabotaged you the first time.” – @khethabahle_x

And then came the real shade:

• “First video = natural. Second video = filters on filters on filters.” – @jbaphu
• “Who came up with this idea… because they don’t like you.” – @wah_indlalifa
• “She really held that grudge 😂🔥” – @AVeryNiceGent

Basically, the streets are saying:
Anele didn’t clap back — she clap-fumbled.

Some fans did try to defend her glow-up, but honestly? They were drowned out by the laugh emojis.

It does sound like Mzansi is NOT buying the transformation comeback.

Was the clapback iconic… or just embarrassing?
The jury (aka the comment section) has spoken — but what do you think?
