Shauwn Mkhize, the fearless businesswoman in her 50s, recently caused quite a stir on social media with a sizzling video of herself enjoying a swim in a pool. Donning a vibrant green swimsuit, she confidently showcased her moves, leaving viewers in awe.
However, as with anything on the internet, not everyone had kind words to say. Social media users flooded the comments section with mixed reviews, with a majority shaming Shauwn for seemingly trying to compete with the younger influencers in the game.
Doing thirst trap at the age of 50 is insane 😩 https://t.co/BWcLRlFN3H

One user lamented, “What kind of society will we have when old people don’t want to be our respected elders?” Another commented, “Adults chasing the popularity they missed out on as teenagers are the worst.”
And yet another added, “It’s important to go through all stages in life so that when you’re old, you don’t start doing things that will embarrass you like this. Which stage did you skip, Aunty? I know it’s your life, but akubukeki.”
While it’s understandable that some may question Shauwn’s motives or feel uncomfortable with the idea of older individuals embracing trends typically associated with younger generations, it’s important to remember that age is just a number.
Life is about embracing new experiences, regardless of how old we are.
