Anele Mdoda’s Hypocrisy Exposed: Singer’s Concert Boycott Sparks Fury
Outrage is growing in South Africa over Anele Mdoda’s call to boycott Chris Brown’s concert, with many labelling her a hypocrite. The singer is set to perform in the country in December, having already sold out two hours after tickets went on sale.
But Anele’s decision to join the Women For Change organization in urging people to cancel the concert has sparked a firestorm of criticism, with many accusing her of double standards. The organization is seeking to cancel the concert over Chris Brown’s past history of abuse.
One Twitter user wrote: "Anele isn’t going to comment on this Chris Brown saga because I think people must do what they want with their money, but this is s**t." Her silence has only added fuel to the fire, with many calling her out for her apparent hypocrisy.
Meanwhile, others are pointing out Anele’s long-standing friendship with Somizi Mhlongo, who was accused of sexual assault and abuse. A tweep commented: "Whoever is protesting must also protest at their uncle’s house. Because in a country where GBV happens every day, I’m sure somebody knows an abuser closer to home than Chris Breezy."
Another user asked: "Anele aren’t you friends with Somizi, who also abused young boys?". This has only added to the weight of criticism, with many calling for Anele to apologize for her perceived hypocrisy.
The debate has sparked a heated debate, with many taking to social media to express their outrage. "Anele is using her platform to call for the boycott of Chris Brown’s concert, but what about the abusers in our own communities? Where is her outrage towards them?" one tweep asked.
The saga has also seen a number of high-profile figures weigh in, with some showing their support for Chris Brown’s music and others calling for his concert to be cancelled. The war of words is set to continue, with Anele’s reputation hanging in the balance.
