Mampintsha
Mampintsha Shimora's weight loss came so unexpectedly that many people thought he was seriously ill.
In a video shared on social media, Mampintsha could be seen dancing, and tweeps were quick to start diagnosing him with various diseases, making him trend on Twitter.
Some even went as far as saying that whatever is happening to the muso, he deserves it.
Babes
Babes Wodumo, Mampintsha's girlfriend, made her own headlines when a photo of her looking unwell was shared on social media.
It should be noted that the photo could easily have been manipulated to make the singer look skinnier than she is.
With that said, it still caused a lot of waves and many people started commenting on the pic, saying that they were worried about Babes.
Sophie
Sophie Ndaba-Lichaba's weight loss was drastic and had many people worried. She was described as looking very unhealthy and her fans were deeply concerned.
The actress eventually addressed all the attention and admitted she may have lost too much weight.
However, it was not because she was sick. In fact, the opposite is true: Sophie lost weight to get herself healthy after she was diagnosed with diabetes.
"Yes I may have lost a little too much but I don’t care. For people to say it’s too much, I don’t really care. No, my decision is that when I’m happy, I’m happy, I’m happy and I feel fantastic."
