Sithelo Shozi’s Durban July Dress Helps Reclaim Mzansi Hearts After Being ‘Cancelled’ for Dating a Younger Man

• Sithelo Shozi has won Mzansi's hearts once more, thanks to the dress she wore to this year's Durban July
• Twitter users had labelled the DJ and influencer a predator after it was revealed that she had begun dating underage Andile Mpisane when he was 17
• Mzansi Twitter users were torn between complimenting her and maintaining the same energy and impression they had of her when the alleged grooming news became public knowledge

Sithelo Shozi's appearance at the Durban July Festival has demonstrated that cancel culture does not exist.

This comes after the DJ and influencer had been 'cancelled' on Twitter for dating musician and footballer Andile in 2021, who was 20 then, while Sithelo was 27. They have two children together, and at the time when the relationship was revealed, they already had one child.

This is now old news, and the label does not seem to matter anymore after Sithelo received a flood of love and compliments for the extravagant dress she wore to the Durban July.
